This paper describes the potential benefits, pitfalls and barriers to adopting e-learning in emergency medicine. While the benefits relating to access, engagement and quality assurance are clear, caution is urged in embracing e-learning for e-learning's sake. It is argued that, if educational strategies are to change, this must be to the benefit of learners and not just for the convenience of access or record keeping. A variety of e-learning approaches are available, but those that promote group discussion or provide feedback from an educator are more likely to lead to successful learning than stand-alone feedback-free modules. A blended approach to learning is advocated where e-learning opportunities form an important but limited part of the overall educational experience. Shop floor and workshop-based teaching should be enhanced with e-learning, not replaced by it.
本文描述了在急诊医学中采用电子学习的潜在益处、陷阱和障碍。虽然与访问、参与和质量保证相关的益处是明确的，但在为了电子学习而接受电子学习时需要谨慎。有人认为，如果要改变教育策略，这必须是为了学习者的利益，而不仅仅是为了方便访问或记录保存。有各种电子学习方法可供选择，但那些促进小组讨论或提供教育者反馈的方法更有可能导致成功的学习，而不是独立的无反馈模块。提倡采用混合学习方法，其中电子学习机会构成整体教育体验的重要但有限的部分。车间和工作坊教学应该通过电子学习得到加强，而不是被取代。
