“…The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a disruption of education systems on an unprecedented scale, and dental education is no exception to this [39,40]. In response to the pandemic situation around the globe, face-to-face learning has been disturbed and online learning platforms have taken on a significant role in dental education [2,39,41].…”

“…In addition, the results suggested that the unavailability of an online-learning management system (OLMS) was significantly associated with dissatisfaction with online learning among Bangladeshi dental students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the shift from on-site classes to online learning was unanticipated and needed swift implementation for education to continue, the rapid development of an efficient OLMS was a challenge during the pandemic [40,[48][49][50][51]. Previous studies reported that an established online educational system can help dental students to improve their theoretical as well as pre-clinical/clinical skills [44,49,50].…”

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, dental education institutions throughout the world experienced significant challenges, including a quick shift to an online learning paradigm. Since the pandemic has had a considerable impact on dental education, this research evaluated the perspectives and attitudes towards online learning among undergraduate dental students in Bangladesh. Methods: The research was conducted through a cross-sectional method using self-administered online questionnaires. The questionnaire included information on the students’ sociodemographic status, their views, and their attitudes about the changes in the educational system, specifically regarding online learning. The study gathered data from 952 undergraduate students from 14 dental institutions in Bangladesh. Results: The results suggested that 87.5% of all the students were unsatisfied with their online programs. Most of the respondents who expressed dissatisfaction with their online classes were female, did not receive assistance in overcoming barriers to accessing the classes or materials (64.23%), did not have access to the institutional online-learning management system (OLMS) (67.35%), and did not have access to the online course materials (71.43%). The students considered that the shift to online learning failed to provide quality clinical teaching. Conclusions: The lack of an OLMS was found to be linked with dissatisfaction with online learning among Bangladeshi dental students during the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, insufficient time allocation and a lack of support through online training were found to be strongly correlated with the students’ discontent. The overall findings highlight the need to develop and implement effective online dentistry educational interventions to promote academic advancement and key practical skills.

“…This finding is quite similar with the findings of the other researchers. 12,13,15,24 Students who attended the class from rural or remote area, they have faced the maximum network problem followed by students of urban and suburban area. Researchers reported that the poor network in urban India was caused due to the fact that the urban people were using the internet and internet-based services to communicate, interact, and continue with their job responsibilities from home.…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated conduction of online medical education in India in both synchronized and asynchronized modes. Before the pandemic, the online teaching had very limited role in anatomy education in India. Aims and Objectives: This study was conducted to know the student’s perceptions and attitudes regarding online versus traditional anatomy teaching, the problems hindering online anatomy learning, and the areas of anatomy students enjoyed in virtual lessons. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among the 1st year medical students of various institutions of India based on a questionnaire applied by Google Forms. Relevant information on student’s sociodemographic profile and their perception toward online versus traditional anatomy teaching were obtained. Four-point Likert scale was used for the responses on perception of teaching. Two hundred and fifty-two responses were studied and statistically analyzed. Results: Two hundred students (79.36%)used smartphones and 205 students (81.34%) used mobile internet in online learning. More than 90% of students preferred traditional anatomy teaching whereas less than 50% of students liked online anatomy teaching. In comparison with gross anatomy, students preferred online teaching of embryology, histology, and radiological anatomy. One hundred and six students (42.06%) opined that the internet problems were the major obstacle and 87 students (34.52%) considered the physical problems as main hindrances in online classes.Statistically significant increase in screentime after commencement of online class was seen among study participants. Conclusion: Majority of students preferred (statistically significant) traditional anatomy teaching over online anatomy teaching. Although students enjoyed online learning on selected topics of embryology, histology, and radiological anatomy, the main hindrances encountered in online anatomy classes were internet problems and physical problems.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant disruption to teaching and learning activities at all levels. Faculty, students, institutions, and parents have had to rapidly adapt and adopt measures to make the best use of available resources, tools and teaching strategies. While much of the online teaching pedagogies have been theoretically and practically explored to a limited extent, the scale at which these were deployed was unprecedented. This has led a large number of researchers to share challenges, solutions and knowledge gleaned during this period. The main aim of this work was to thematically model the literature related to teaching and learning during, and about, COVID-19. Abstracts and metadata of literature were extracted from Scopus, and topic modeling was used to identify the key research themes. The research encompassed diverse scientific disciplines, including social sciences, computer science, and life sciences, as well as learnings in support systems, including libraries, information technology, and mental health. The following six key themes were identified: (i) the impact of COVID-19 on higher education institutions, and challenges faced by these institutions; (ii) the use of various tools and teaching strategies employed by these institutions; (iii) the teaching and learning experience of schools and school teachers; (iv) the impact of COVID-19 on the training of healthcare workers; (v) the learnings about COVID-19, and treatment strategies from patients; and (vi) the mental health of students as a result of COVID-19 and e-learning. Regardless of the key themes, what stood out was the inequities in education as a result of the digital divide. This has had a huge impact not only in middle- and low-income nations, but also in several parts of the developed world. Several important lessons have been learned, which, no doubt, will be actively incorporated into teaching and learning practices and teacher training. Nonetheless, the full effect of these unprecedented educational adaptions on basic education, expert training, and mental health of all stakeholders is yet to be fully fathomed.
