A recent letter to the editor in the journal "The Clinical Teacher" reveals some interesting take on e learning from a negative stand point. We all are aware of the good and fun aspects of e learning but this editorial reminds us of a very important point:- practice makes perfect; no podcast or vodcast or blog is going to make one a good physician. The author says " It may seem a novel way to learn, but as the old Chinese proverb goes:- I hear, and I forget, I see and I remember. I do and I understand.".
Have a look at this interesting thought of the author
