Abstrakt:	With the advancements in technology, medical educators are now able to create and deliver content to students through digital platforms. Electronic content (e-content) development has allowed educators to incorporate multimedia, animations, simulations, and interactive elements which support verbal instruction, such as improved expression and comprehension, into their teaching materials. E-content development is a relatively new field, but it is growing very rapidly. Recent findings have indicated that the e-learning sector will likely experience a huge surge in the upcoming years. The Indian government has launched various initiatives for e-content development in medical education. E-content development has great potential and can be used in various learning scenarios. While it initially gained popularity in higher education, it has since been applied to many other sectors, including healthcare. It allows educators to create highly engaging learning experiences that are accessible by all students. Challenges in e-content development include availability of the internet, creating content that is engaging and relevant to a wide range of learners, and access. Still, it is expected that the use of e-content in medical teaching will continue to increase in the future. The future of e-content development in medical teaching is likely to see continued growth and innovation as technology advances and more educators and learners recognize the benefits of online and digital resources.
