Abstract

The Ayurvedic education system was earlier chalk-and-talk and sequential, participatory and basic concepts, Sanskrit shlokas and clinical reasoning were taught to the students. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the digital transformation in medical education and impacted what students do with the content and how teachers present it. This review will address the cognitive dimensions of this transition, with the emphasis on the effects of technology on learners' attention patterns, memory, and spatial reasoning and on their satisfaction with attention patterns. Interactive technology and availability of resources worldwide are more flexible and engaging for students, but there's concerns on how long students can focus, how much they can retain and how they are utilizing digital aids to learn. The use of digital tools to support the visualization of Ayurvedic teachings, the flexibility of self-paced learning, the flipped approach to activities and learning, and the strengths of teaching and learning with chalk and talk, combine to create the best educational outcome. As noted in this review, teacher training, infrastructure and other empirical research are needed to modernise the education of Ayurveda effectively without losing its basic and traditional principles
