Introduction: The coronavirus pandemic has seen the introduction of novel methods of delivering education to medical students. Accelerated development of IT systems and enhancement of Internet mechanisms have allowed online learning to become central to modern global education. Hence, the present study was undertaken to evaluate student’s perception regarding study on online teaching and learning during Covid-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a Google Form containing the study questionnaire was circulated among specific social media groups comprising medical students in the institutions of the authors. The questions assessed perception toward online learning, using a five-point Likert scale. After receiving the responses, the data of this cross-sectional study was analysed. Results: Amongst the respondents, only 55.3% students had ownership of computer/laptop. 81.1% accessed e-learning through mobile phones. 83.6% and 80.0% students have shown familiarity with Google Classroom and Zoom respectively. 52.9% students preferred offline in person mode of teaching. 13.9% students had no availability of internet /Wi-Fi connection at home. 63% students said that electricity hampered their study. Conclusion: Online teaching has enabled the continuation of medical education during these unprecedented times. Moving forward from this pandemic, in order to maximise the benefits of both face-to-face and online teaching and to improve the efficacy of medical education in the future, we suggest, medical colleges resort to teaching formats such as team-based/problem-based learning. |
