  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">ELearning provides healthcare professionals an interesting alternative of  participating to Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities. It offers  the possibility to attend courses at a distance, and it allows creating  personal learning schedules without needing to leave the job or the  family. Hospitals can choose to organize CME activities for their  employees and therefore may also opt to offer eLearning activities. The  research studies eLearning acceptance in the CME of healthcare  professionals in hospitals, it wants to compare the findings to eLearning  acceptance in the corporate sector and to create a guideline for  continuing education managers devoted to the organization of  educational activities for healthcare professionals who work in  hospitals. The study leads to the creation of an eLearning Readiness  Index for the Continuing Medical Education of healthcare professionals  (eCMERI) with the purpose of helping CME managers to promote,  organize and decrease the number of dropouts from eLearning  activities. The hospital sector seems to widely differ from the corporate  field as far as an eLearning Readiness Index is concerned; hospitals  require more complex guidelines to organize and promote eLearning than  companies. Furthermore, dissimilar priorities are required to encourage  eLearners to participate to the activities, which points out different  requirements in the two fields.</dc:description>
