Written feedback “Topics need to be addressed in groups” “Prefer hands on learning to sitting at a PC” “These are areas I am already aware of” “Difficult language..if not brought up in UK”

And.. “You don’t need a course to learn this stuff. If you don’t know it anyway you’re not much of a clinician really.”

“Very interesting and useful” “Very useful….engaging & easy to remember” “Good introduction” “Nice use of practical scenarios” However..

Questions??

Conclusions eLearning has some advantages to some but not for others (to be expected) Better level of registration than expected

Conclusions The “engaged third” evidenced You can’t keep all of the people happy all of the time! But it is worth trying!
