“…Similar perception [10] was seen by Saudi students in an online questionnaire where they preferred the on ground more than the online education due to quality and accreditation . [11] Our results regarding the learning outcomes can be interpreted in two ways; viewing the students' feedback, cheating & malpractices were common in the online format which could be a reason for better performance seen in the online assessment in both Biochemistry and Physiology as is agreed upon by majority of the faculty . Although we used preventive [14] t e c h n i q u e s l i k e o n e a t t e m p t a l l o w e d , randomizing questions, reshuffling of options, limited time given to minimize the digital cheating, still MCQs are considered the easiest online format for cheating with lack of online proctoring, hence we are now moving towards a balanced assessment strategy by adding open book exam to promote deeper learning of higher level learning outcome, in the medium stake assessments .…”

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Corona virus disease (Covid-19) pandemic has impacted lives and institutes globally with serious consequences. No doubt universities are facing immense challenges in this transition to online education. To evaluate the effectiveness of online system of teaching in Covid 19 pandemic as compared to classroom teaching in a basic medical sciences module. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Islamic International Dental College, from 15th February to 15th May 2020 on 1ST year BDS students. At the end of their online module, an online feedback questionnaire was given to students. Assessment of the online module was compared with the previous class module assessment to get an insight of their performance. SPSS version 25 was used. Student’s t test was used. RESULTS: A highly significant p value was found in both Physiology and Biochemistry online tests as compared to class tests. Regarding feedback, 63(91.3%) students preferred classroom teaching as it enhanced active participation 59 (85.5%) and student teacher engagement 62 (89.9%). Students agreed that queries were addressed during online sessions 57 (70.9%) but they seemed less motivated 21(30.4%) and grasping of difficult concepts was tough 48 (69.5%). Teachers seemed more enthusiastic in online teaching 52 (75.4%), but there was variety of teaching tools used in classroom sessions 65 (94.2%). CONCLUSION: Gradually medical universities, faculty and students will adapt with the e-learning but we need to implement innovative and proactive measures for students and faculty to enhance students learning.

This research sought to identify Saudi Arabia students' perceptions concerning e-learning in America. The purpose was to describe the perceptions and experiences of undergraduate students regarding e-learning courses based on interviews. Data analysis produced three primary findings across three research questions. The first finding illustrates the positive and negative students' perceptions of e-learning. Secondly, it was established that there are several obstacles to e-learning, including lack of motivation, technical problems, and administrative issues. Furthermore, these students perceived elearning to be improved through enhanced communication, virtual reality, compatible teaching methods, technical support, and collaboration between students and educators.
