Review synthesis of 21 articles reporting participant reactions, mostly assessed with 5-point Likert scales or open questions. The review reports "All results were positive, but no structural differences between DLRs and traditional teaching methods were identified," and 13 studies found increased self-reported confidence and knowledge.

"All results were positive, but no structural differences between DLRs and traditional teaching methods were identified."

Related Claims¶

• Digital learning resources increase prescribing-related knowledge test scores compared with preintervention testing or no education
• Comparisons of digital microscopy and light microscopy show mixed results: students rated light microscopy higher for satisfaction while digital microscopy showed higher examination averages in one study, and several studies found no significant performance differences
• Head-to-head comparisons of digital learning with traditional teaching show mixed results, with no overall advantage for either — related
• Digital learning resources show no between-group difference compared with clinical practice guidelines in most studies — related
