Book excerpt: The availability of technological learning tools has experienced exponential growth, significantly altering the traditional way health workers have been educated and how they deliver health services. The benefits and limitations of using digital tools and platforms to supplement traditional methods of educating health workers have been highlighted in several studies to date. Findings show that the effectiveness of using digital technology to educate and train health workers varies according to training objectives, digital modality, context, teaching and assessment methods, study population and specialty of practice. This brief examines and summarizes current evidence to map the education and training of health workers using digital technology. It outlines a non-exhaustive, non-prioritized list of 63 research questions to help improve understanding and inform policy- and decision-making in establishing and operationalizing digital health workforce education across various settings.
