e-Learning in Medical Education in Sri Lanka: Survey of Medical Undergraduates and New Graduates.

There is a high uptake of e-learning methods among Sri Lankan medical students. However, when comparing the extent of use of different learning methods, it appeared that students preferentially used traditional learning methods. A majority of the students have encountered problems when using e-learning methods, and most of these problems were related to poor economic status. Universities should take these factors into consideration when developing curricula in medical education.
