Description
Summary:Despite the challenges of using e-learning in many academic institutions, especially in low- and middle-income countries such as lack of infrastructure, insufficient resources for public access, and lack of specialists to implement e-learning platforms, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided opportunities to promote e-learning in the nursing profession (Olum et al., 2020). Students can save educational content, including videos, slides and audio content, and use it at any other time. [...]the COVID-19 pandemic provided opportunities to promote e-learning in the nursing profession to students, such as improving their learning and attitudes towards e-learning, preventing their separation from the educational environment, documenting and monitoring education, and increasing perceived usefulness (Hayat et al., 2021). [...]engagement in e-learning activities can help to acquire new skills for teaching using new online platforms and increase their awareness and positive attitude towards this educational approach (Hayat et al., 2021).
