Special Issue: e-Learning in Health Care

Just look at this interesting line-up in The Electronic Journal of e-Learning, February 2008, Volume 5, Number 4, Special Issue: e-Learning in Health Care:

E-learning is viewed as one way to support the development of healthcare professionals, offering flexible access to materials which enable practitioners to meet life-long learning agendas.

These papers present current international developments in the sector and capture the range of engagement in e-learning from the instructivist provision of information through to engaging students in constructivist learning online.

The growing impetus to develop and embrace e-learning in health care led to the convening of a mini-track at the 6th European Conference on E-Learning (ECEL) held in Denmark in 2007 and to invitations to support this Special Edition of the journal.
