Declaration of interest

K. H. is the editor of CPD Online and has spent more time on the internet than she would care to know. Nevertheless, her children think it’s a hoot that anyone considers her an expert in digital matters.

Abstract

E-learning is an expanding field in which many psychiatrists are active through teaching, training and pursuing their continuing professional development. Much of the benefits of e-learning are due to the implementation of educational principles rather than the medium itself. The College has invested in its own e-learning website as a service for members. However, it should not entirely replace face-to-face lectures, tutoring and mentorship.
