Public universities in Poland receive fairly limited financial support for creating e-textbooks (interactive online textbooks) and lack the appropriate ICT competences among teaching staff, especially in the case of non-technical universities. The authors propose a pedagogical and technological paradigm for e-textbooks in medical education using op...

... The integration of well-crafted interactive learning materials within ebooks, including video and audio components, infographics, and embedded activities, has the potential to significantly enhance student engagement. This approach facilitates a better understanding of new concepts and complex issues (Ren-Kurc et al., 2018). Awaludin et al. (2020) further emphasize the effectiveness of integrating multimedia elements in e-books, particularly for subjects like integral calculus, aiding students in visualizing and comprehending abstract concepts. ...
Calculus is a fundamental subject in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) study programs. Despite the introduction of basic calculus concepts as early as secondary school, many undergraduate students still encounter difficulties in comprehending and solving differentiation and integration problems. As calculus is fundamental to fields like science and engineering, possessing a solid mathematical and calculus foundation becomes essential for STEM students. Struggling to grasp these fundamental concepts not only impacts performance in calculus but also poses challenges when tackling advanced related topics. Recognizing this challenge, the eCALculator is introduced as a comprehensive and accessible solution. This innovative tool takes the form of a step-by-step e-manual, guiding students in determining a function’s derivatives and integrals using a calculator. The e-manual can be accessed via a flipbook, encompasses instructional videos and exercises. The eCALculator was tested to 40 engineering students enrolled in Calculus courses at UiTM Cawangan Pulau Pinang. Survey results indicate that the eCALculator not only helps improving students’ comprehension and accuracy in calculus problem-solving but also increases motivation and interest in learning, particularly among low-achieving mathematics students who require additional support.
... Worldwide higher education institutions were forced to accelerate the introduction of web-based learning methodologies in areas where this was not the main core, such as clinical teaching. This paper presents the current trends and new challenges that emerge from this new e-learning environment, focusing on its potential to revolutionize healthcare education and exploring have previously known methods along with new elements that had no equivalent in the past [13][14][15][16]. Their emergence in education is determined by the application of modern digital technologies of sound and image recording and their integration with traditional text-based instruction [17,18]. ...
The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on the learning and teaching processes, particularly in healthcare education and training, because of the principal position of the cutting-edge student–patient interaction. Replacing the traditional form of organization and implementation of knowledge evaluation with its web-based equivalent on an e-learning platform optimizes the whole didactic process not only for the unit carrying it out but, above all, for students. This research is focused on the effectiveness of the application of e-learning for computer-based knowledge evaluation and optimizing exam administration for students of medical sciences. The proposed approach is considered in two categories: from the perspective of the providers of the evaluation process, that is, the teaching unit; and the recipients of the evaluation process, that is, the students.
This book is dedicated to the current trends and new challenges that have emerged from the new e-learning environment, focusing on its potential to revolutionize Healthcare Education and exploring how it may help to better prepare future healthcare professionals for their daily practice. “E-learning and Digital Training in Healthcare Education: Current Trends and New Challenges” contains several research articles focused on new insights into the use of interactive and intuitive e-learning tools and innovative teaching methodologies that engage healthcare students in the new web-based environment training. It also includes several case studies of ‘pathfinder’ e-learning initiatives and surveys related to the penetration and acceptance of digital training in Healthcare Education.
