t
he rapid advances in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the wide use of the World Wide Web has important implications for education 1 . This continuous advancement in technology (e.g. Broadband internet connections, Ubiquitous Computing , Open Source Softwares) in conjunction with the recent recommendations in medical education suggesting a move toward problem-based learning (PBL) and use of information and communication technologies 2 . All these factors led to the evolution of the e-learning environment in medical education. An initiative is underway in Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS), Omdurman Islamic University (OIU), Sudan which aims to introduce a modern web-based learning environment serves undergraduate medical students, supports the newly adopted philosophy of Problem-based Learning, and provides these new generations of doctors (Net generations) with the knowledge and skills they need to be a successful practitioners. This digest endeavors to give a bird’s-eye view of e-learning, its benefits and limitations and explores, with examples, some of the current uses of e-learning technologies in the education of medical studentsالمراجع
