About this study
Official title: Faculty and Students' Attitude Toward E-learning at the Start of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-sectional Study
E-learning in medical education is a relatively new idea that is rapidly growing. This study aimed to assess the students and faculty staff attitude for e-learning at the emergence of COVID-19.
A prospective cross-sectional online survey based on Google form was conducted at a medical university in Iraq between March and April 2020
Read the detailed description
E learning provides education at a generally lower cost and engages learners at a time and location that is most appropriate for them. Recent calls for reform in medical education and training have emphasized the use of information technology-empowered learning. This was enhanced more in the COVID-19 era . Some international organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), have acknowledged e-learning as a helpful tool for healthcare education, particularly in developing countries. Nevertheless, the use of e-learning by the faculty members and students stayed minimum for uploading lecture notes, course books, feedbacks, and providing marks until the COVID-19 pandemic raised that need. This study aimed to evaluate faculty and students' knowledge and attitudes toward e-learning at the emergence of COVID-19 and identify the potential requirements for implementing e-learning.
An online survey was distributed to a sample of 190 faculty and 1706 students of a medical university in Iraq. Knowledge and attitudes towards e-learning were studied
