Hillier, Mitchell and Millwood - ‘Change of heart!’: a new e-learning model geared to addressing complex and sensitive public health issues

However, it is argued here that a new approach to e-learning is needed, to afford the kinds of experiences necessary for learning about complex and sensitive issues.
