Abstract

The current
education trend in the world confirms the meaningfulness and relevance of
e-learning integration into the academic and professional environment. Studies
focusing on this form of education point to many benefits in nursing training
for the profession. The main objective of this survey is to highlight the
advantages and disadvantages of e-learning education in the healthcare teaching
process. The survey has a character of overview investigation. The source of
gathered information were citations of database PubMed, Medline and BMS, which
investigation ran from November 2017 to January 2018. The total 25 scientific
and professional articles were used in the survey from the period 2002-2017. The
studied group were students and teachers involved in the learning process
through e-learning.  E-learning education
allows students to be independent and flexible in studying, to develop
technical skills, critical thinking and cognitive skills. It empowers teachers
to personal and professional growth, development of technical skills. However,
e-learning is more effective when it is combined with direct contact of student
and teacher/tutor. E-learning is a suitable complementary method of traditional
education that current pedagogical practice requires.
