title: Challenges in healthcare education: a correlational study of outcomes using two learning techniques.
abstract: Electronic learning has become an important tool in today's changing healthcare environment. Institutions confronted with limited resources, in the face of increased demands for education and a shortage of educators, have found electronically based education a significant resource. This study compares electronic-blended instruction technique with instructor-led delivery of the same content and examines the correlation of learning effectiveness to each delivery method.
