Abstract

Introduction: E-learning in medicine evolves over time. Students' opinions are the most important element of successful teaching. Therefore, we evaluated the opinions of participating students in the clinical toxicology department webinars.
Materials & Methods: In a cross-sectional study, we asked from precipitating medical interns (29/2/2020-25/4/2020) to complete the web-based questionnaire after the clinical toxicology department webinars. They know that completion of the questionnaires had no effect on the student's assessment score. The questions were open-ended, multiple-choice and Likert (5 scores). The answers of open-ended questions were categorized by two researchers. Questions were about student gender, months of internship, appropriateness of class time, suggested best time to hold class, quality of audio and video of software, the rate of student participation in class, net disconnection, tools and place of participation in class, teaching quality and strengths and weaknesses of classes.
Results: Ninety questionnaires were completed by XMRand 68.7% of the students completed the questionnaires. The average duration of the classes was 66.8 ± 18.36 minutes, which was longer than the suggested time by the students (42.4 ± 16.5 minutes, PV = 0.005). 72.2% of precipitants rated the quality of sound, image and software as medium to high. Half of the cases (55%) connected by mobile network. The rate of Internet disconnection was higher in extended classes. 81.5% of the precipitants hold the class at home and 91.5% of them used a smartphone.
Conclusion: Considering the use of smartphone by majority of participants and the possibility of disconnection between teacher and student in the webinar, it is better to repeatedly summarize the important points, do not extend the class and use standard slides with few lines and words visible on the smartphone.
