Major issue is accessibility,it is time consuming,takes away the student teacher's interaction,not good for clinical skill andanother important thing is technical issues.It doesnot help students to learn communication skills.

The vast majority of e-learning applications (Urdan and Weggen 2000) fail to establish a unique learning experience suitable for the learners’ preferences.

The static approach to learning content limits the willingness of many people to use ICT’s in order to learn. Especially in academic environments the realization of e-learning usually is limited to the deployment of a well known elearning platform such as WebCT, BlackBoard, Learning Space etc, and the adaptation of learning content to the specific supported format for learning objects (Rowley 2000). The utilization of such systems many times reveal the inflexible knowledge management processes of academics since e-learning is about management of knowledge. In other words e-learning requires much more effort for equivalent or improved learning outcomes in comparison to traditional learning. But unfortunately technology is only a driver not a catalyst. The e-learning value proposition and consequently the e-learning loyalty and hence the higher acceptance of e-learning depends on joint efforts that combine teachers, students, technology, learning processes, dynamic futures and so on.

So,I feel it is a waste of time and resources.
