We propose the need for a specific educational scholarship when using e-learning in medical education. Effective e-learning has additional factors that require specific critical attention, including the design and delivery of e-learning. An important aspect is the recognition that e-learning is a complex intervention, with several interconnecting components that have to be aligned. This alignment requires an essential iterative development process with usability testing. Effectiveness of e-learning in one context may not be fully realized in another context unless there is further consideration of applicability and scalability. We recommend a participatory approach for an educational scholarship for using e-learning in medical education, such as by action research or design-based research.
我们认为在医学教育中使用电子学习时需要特定的教育学术研究。有效的电子学习还有其他需要特别密切关注的因素，包括电子学习的设计与交付。一个重要方面是认识到电子学习是一项复杂的干预措施，有几个相互关联的组成部分必须相互协调。这种协调需要通过可用性测试进行必要的迭代开发过程。除非进一步考虑适用性和可扩展性，否则电子学习在一种环境中的有效性在另一种环境中可能无法完全实现。我们建议采用参与式方法进行关于在医学教育中使用电子学习的教育学术研究，比如通过行动研究或基于设计的研究。
