[[Internet]] and neurosurgical [[education]] [[online]]
((Quintana LM. The Internet and neurosurgical education online. World Neurosurg.

As open access resource, the role of Internet has been increasing in our professional life
((Barbosa Pereira JL, Kubben PL, de Albuquerque LA, Batalini F, de Carvalho GT, 
de Sousa AA. E-learning for neurosurgeons: Getting the most from the new web
tools. Asian J Neurosurg. 2015 Jan-Mar;10(1):48. doi: 10.4103/1793-5482.151514.
PubMed PMID: 25767581; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC4352633.
)).

It could revolutionize patient education in the future
((Chuang MF, Tung HH, Clinciu DL, Huang JS, Iqbal U, Chang CJ, Su IC, Lai FC, Li
YC. The effect of an integrated education model on anxiety and uncertainty in
patients undergoing cervical disc herniation surgery. Comput Methods Programs

Decades after the rise of eLearning in neurosurgery, some promising solutions are readily available, but the potential of eLearning has not yet been sufficiently exploited
((Stienen MN, Schaller K, Cock H, Lisnic V, Regli L, Thomson S. eLearning
resources to supplement postgraduate neurosurgery training. Acta Neurochir
(Wien). 2017 Feb;159(2):325-337. doi: 10.1007/s00701-016-3042-7. Epub 2016 Dec 5.
PubMed PMID: 27921190.
)).

The e-Learning platforms provide updated educational content that make them "quick, surf, find and extract" resources. e-Learning tools like web-based education, social interactive platform and question-answer forum will save unnecessary expenditure of time and travel of neurosurgeons seeking knowledge. The need for free access platforms is more pronounced for the neurosurgeons and patients in developing nations

)).

To take maximal advantage of this technology, faculty should be trained to develop questions not only with text and pictures but with audio and video support
((Jawaid M, Moosa FA, Jaleel F, Ashraf J. Computer Based Assessment (CBA):
Perception of residents at Dow University of Health Sciences. Pak J Med Sci. 2014

Self-directed neurologic assessment e-[[learning]] induced improvement in the neurologic assessment ability among nurses. Self-directed e-learning can be applied for improving competencies in neurologic assessment

in nurses. Nurse Educ Today. 2017 Jul 15;57:60-64. doi:

====ebrain====
ebrain (http://www.ebrain.net/) is a comprehensive e-learning platform for the clinical [[neuroscience]]s
((Thomson S. ebrain: the electronic learning platform for clinical neuroscience.
Br J Neurosurg. 2013 Oct;27(5):577-9. doi: 10.3109/02688697.2013.771731. Epub
2013 Mar 11. Review. PubMed PMID: 23477612.
)).

It is an exciting and novel interactive online program in clinical neuroscience aimed at hospital trainees, consultants in neurology, and other neuroscience specialties. ebrain was developed in partnership with the Joint Neuroscience Council (JNC), University College London (UCL), the European Federation of Neurological Societies (EFNS), and the European Neurological Society (ENS). At its core is a program of 550 lectures covering the breadth of clinical neurosciences
