Health Care Professionals’ Knowledge, Attitude, Practice, and Infrastructure Accessibility for e-Learning in Ethiopia: Cross-Sectional Study
Although Ethiopian health care professionals report mixed levels of knowledge, they have a positive attitude toward e-learning in medical education. While internet use is common, especially via smartphone, the access to devices and reliable internet is limited. To improve accessibility, investments in the digital infrastructure and individual digital education programs are necessary, especially targeting women and those with lower income. Due to their widespread availability, e-learning programs should be optimized for smartphones.
