Current medical students need an ongoing basis of updated skills and knowledge to be compatible with the development of health care systems in the hospitals. The student engagement in thinking about the better way for learning a new information and skills will create safe and comfortable learning environment, which act as a golden key to starting point, leading to highest quality learning outcomes. The medical education instructor should recognize the e-learning technology gadget suited the required learning environment and compatible with intended learning objectives for each lecture. No doubt that the instructor plays a vital role in the student support, which needs an intellectual efforts to provide them with appropriate needs and guide students to become active and creative members in the university, their profession, and community. This research aims to find out what is the impact of electronic courses (e-courses) in instructional support, to increase medical students' enthusiasm. Across sectional descriptive analytical study conducted in King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the study population was undergraduate radiological sciences students. A well-designed questionnaire was distributed to students and then received their feedback. In the first part of the course, they exposed to traditional methods, while in the remaining part, the e-learning and interactive lectures were introduced. Statistical analyses were performed with Statistic Package for Social Science (SPSS software version 20). Out of 50 students, 31 (62.0%) preferred the interactive power points files, 33 (66.0%) more enthusiastic to use learning management system (LMS) to find out their course contents. Regarding the level of students satisfaction in different types of pre-test, 30 (60.0%) students were unsatisfied when using paper and pen style, while 38 (76.0%) were satisfied when performing an electronic tests. Twenty-nine (58.50%) favoured an interactive mind map for each lecture contents. Majority of students decided that both classical and electronic instruction methods offer usable and relevant support for students. In conclusion, the e-courses offer the opportunity to integrate teaching, learning, and assessment which play a vital role in instructional support, to increase medical students' enthusiasm. The web utilization supports both faculties and students with a very strong and dynamic communication method, to set up a vital learning community. The e-courses provide students with multiple ways to prove mastery, offer more options and opportunities for presentation and participation, become creative and critical thinkers, and continue self-directed learning.

Objective. The current model of education has been suffering changes, undergoing renovations, and seeking using and enjoying increasingly technological resources, as, for example, the Learning Management System (LMS). One of the most used LMS platforms is the Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle). This article proposes to demonstrate how Moodle platform was introduced in the subject of Stomatology through a clear and objective methodology. Study Design. In six months, 49 undergraduate students enrolled in stomatology subject accessed Moodle platform 2067 times and performed 02 evaluation exams at Discipline of Stomatology. Statistical analysis was performed by paired t-test (comparison between number of access times before the first evaluation and number of access times before the second evaluation), Wilcoxon test (student's grade on the first and second evaluation), and Pearson correlation test (correlation between the number of access times before the first evaluation and the first grade, correlation between the number of access times before the second evaluation and the second grade, and correlation between the variation of the number of access times and the variation of the student's grade). Results and Conclusion. The digital platform Moodle was associated with better grade for those students who access it for more times ( < 0,001) and was able to supply the needs of the students and help them to obtain information about the subject during the entire semester (6 months).

Objectives: To evaluate satisfaction with dental and medical education quality among foreign students considering non-native Englishspeaking origin of the teachers. Materials and Methods:This research was conducted in the form of a questionnaire survey among foreign students of Dental Faculty and Medical Faculty during 2019-2020. The questionnaire was presented in the format of Google-form, published in faculties' social media group as well as was sent to the e-mail of each student registered via Moodle system. The survey was held considering the anonymity of each respondent and personal willingness of each student to take part in the research. One hundred and sixty-seven students took part in the survey, among which only 82 answered all the questions.Results: 60 (73.2%) respondents rated their satisfaction with the quality of provided educational process as excellent, while 5 (6.1%) and 17 (20.7%) as satisfactory and good, respectively. Such factors as teacher's/lecturer's knowledge of the subject (r=0.72), teacher's/lecturer's knowledge of English (r=0.60), personal motivation (r=0.75), and educational organization considering the aspect of language adaptation (r=0.65) were found to be statistically related to the quality of obtained dental and medical education, subjectively evaluated by the foreign students. Conclusions:Considering limitations of the performed study, it could be resumed that foreign students are generally highly satisfied with provided level of dental and medical education, even though such was carried out by the lecturers for whom English isn't the native language. Structured interactive sessions, direct-feedback lectures, and additional use of video-podcast are not only preferable among students, but also provide sufficient opportunities for educational process improvement, especially in the settings when both student and teacher are non-native English speakers, and when stationary education is limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation.
