A Study of effectiveness of online classroom learning vs online live consultation-based learning in the department of dermatology: A Likert scale and MCQs based google form study

Abstract

Dermatology, being an inherently visual specialty, probably is more amenable to online
learning as compared to other specialties. We describe our experience and the student
and faculty feedback after an online Dermatology teaching module for undergraduate
medical students, which was created in lieu of traditional teaching, due to the
restrictions imposed by the pandemic. This study puts to find the student’s perceptions
and the impact of the programme on the learning of students to be beneficial to the
faculty in the future. The primary objective is to evaluate the perception of the students
and teachers towards online teaching. The secondary objective is to evaluate the
performance of students.
