“…There is hence the possibility of fatigue associated with online learning given that regular medical education had also switched to virtual learning platforms. 26 , 27 Finally, it is possible that although the educational content we provided was comprehensive and covered a variety of relevant domains, it was unable to meet the desired objectives.…”

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of an online educational intervention on improving knowledge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and stewardship among final-year medical students in Chennai, India. METHODS This was a prospective ‘before-after’ study conducted across 5 medical colleges in Chennai, India. Participants who were final-year (fourth year) undergraduate medical students were administered a pretest to evaluate baseline knowledge. Students were then provided access to online educational material comprising 20 short lectures. Lectures were delivered by content experts and covered a range of topics which included basics of microbiology, fundamental concepts in AMR and stewardship, diagnosis and management of common infections, basics of antimicrobial pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and vaccination. Students were required to take a posttest at the end of these modules. Primary outcome was improvement in test scores from pretest baseline which was analyzed using a t test. A 30% improvement in the mean scores from baseline was predefined as a measure of success. RESULTS A total of 599 students participated from 5 medical colleges among whom 339 (56.6%) were female participants; 542 (90.4%) students completed the posttest. Mean pretest score was 11.6 (maximum possible score of 25) (SD: 4.3) and the mean posttest score was 14.0 (SD: 4.6). Comparing pre and posttest scores, there was an improvement of 2.4 marks (20%) from the baseline (95% confidence interval: 1.9, 2.9) ( P < .001). Improvement in scores was similar for male and female participants. CONCLUSIONS In this before-after study evaluating the impact of an educational intervention on AMR among final-year medical students, there was an improvement in knowledge; however, the extent of improvement did not meet the predefined metric of success.

“…According to Auxier and Anderson (2020), students in different countries and institutions have no access to high quality internet at home (high speed and without breakdowns), especially those who come from low-income families. Analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of learning neurology disciplines during the Covid-19 pandemic in a Ukraine University, Odintsova et al (2022) have found as advantages a reduction on anxiety levels (72.8%), flexibility of class time (52%), better interaction among teachers (50%), and time-saving (44.4%). On the other hand, the disadvantages are related to the lack of clinical practice (61%), constant distractions (51.4%), and network issues (50%).…”

During the Covid-19 pandemic peak period, changes were devised for society to adapt to the new lifestyle without affecting its development. Among others, education was one of the most affected areas in this period due to the mandatory social distancing. Education institutions adapted to this new scenario by switching from face-to-face to remote teaching, which brings advantages and disadvantages. To better understand this new teaching-learning pedagogical approach, it is important to listen to those intimately connected in this process: professors and students. Since they provide personal and subjective opinions connected to their own cultures, perceptions, and other very personal variables, assessing their opinions requires a different approach based on unusual logics, in which the paraconsistent logic appears as a potential tool. This research aims to apply the paraconsistent annotated evidential logic Eτ (PAEL) in the opinion of students and professors of an engineering post-graduate program in the state of São Paulo to evaluate whether or not to return to face-to-face academic activities at the university, after the Covid-19 pandemic. A survey was applied to a sample of professors and students, embracing nine variables related to teaching, research, economics, time, and efficiency. Results show that, although research and time indicators are located within the ‘truth’ region of the cartesian unitary square, the barycenter is in the 'almost true' region, indicating an inconclusive response as to whether or not to return to face-to-face academic activities. This study contributes to discussions about the newly imposed after Covid-19-scenario towards more effective pedagogical approaches.

“…Although our experience has shown us that some educational objectives are difficult to achieve without face-to-face instruction, we have also found that much of the content can be taught online by incorporating simulations. 3 We also conducted a training session in a hybrid format during the COVID-19 pandemic, and while there was generally no significant difference in educational effects from the face-to-face training, the discussion between face-to-face and online participants did not go smoothly, and the air and timing gap between participants became an issue. 4 Online education, which has spread rapidly and is both time- and cost-friendly for learners, is in high demand and it is useful to continue it even after the downgrade of COVID-19 to a “common infectious disease,” if the educational benefits are high.…”

Objective: The study clarified differences in understanding and satisfaction between face-to-face and online training on radiation emergency medical preparedness (REMP) training. Methods: The training was held at Hirosaki University between 2018 and 2022, with 46 face-to-face participants and 25 online participants. Results: Face-to-face training was significantly more understandable than online for the use of the Geiger counter (P < 0.05), but the educational effect of virtual reality (VR) was not significantly different from the actual practice. For the team exercise of taking care of the victims, online resulted in a significantly higher understanding (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Interactive exercises can be done online with equipment sent to learners, and VR is also as effective. The use of videos was more effective for first-timers to learn the practical process from a bird’s-eye view, especially for team-based medical procedures.
