Abstract

The implementation of E-learning technologies in the classroom enhances the learning process, does not replace the lecturer or tutor. The challenges for implementation of E-learning technologies are extensive for the lecturers and the students as well. This paper discusses the issues related to the infrastructure aspects, pedagogic consideration and the need for the technology, and records the students’ attitude towards implementation of E-learning in the traditional way of teaching. The study was conducted in the Department of Forensic Medicine at SSR Medical College in the year 2011. The students were asked to fill out a questionnaire online that covered a wide range of relevant attitudes and prior experience of information technology. Majority of students possess sufficient computer skills and agree that E-learning technologies could play an important role in medical teaching. To conclude, medical students could be benefited from the implementation of E-learning technologies in the traditional ways of teaching. Special measures should be taken to the students who lack computer skills.
