Background and Objectives: Recent amendments in syllabus from 2012 batch for learning physiotherapy ethics for 4 years & passing internal assessment in final year has prompted to undertake innovation with e module as against traditional lecture method which is currently in practice. e- Learning is teaching using electronic media which developed rapidly and power point presentations are being extensively used and hence pilot tested on 2012 final year exam appearing physiotherapy students although traditional lecture method continued for first and second year students. Aim of the study: To study the response of final B.P.Th. students on e module of ethics. Materials & Methods: Needs assessment on innovation was done. This was followed by e-module preparation. Module prepared according to syllabus in power point format. Module incorporated expert opinion from physiotherapy & M.E.T. faculty before final module was prepared which took one month and included one assignment. Module was posted on emails of all 25 final year students. 3 months time was given before evaluation by feedback forms, assignment completion & internal assessment scores. Results: All 25 students completed assignment & scored marks between 50-76% in internals. Students found that Module was easy to learn & follow, created self learning and could be read according to their convenience. Conclusions: it was possible to implement e modular pattern of learning although developing the e module required time and effort. e module enhanced self directed learning and can be implemented for all batches.
