What is it about?
E-learning, or learning and teaching facilitated and supported through the application of technology, is presently being used widely in all fields of education, and also being utilized extensively in medical education. We enlist the various ways e-learning can contribute to medical education in India (and other developing countries), and give relevant examples from e-learning usage in developing countries.

Why is it important?
Experience shows that students and faculty are mostly in favor of adopting e-learning side-by-side with traditional learning, and the advantages far outweigh the likely discomfort associated with adoption of this new method.
Perspectives
Although e-learning usage is at a very basic level in many of the Indian medical colleges, some are using it quite extensively with heartening results.
