Abstract
Introduction: The pandemic of Coronavirus has not only affected the lives of humans, but it also affected health education and training programs. With the implementation of social distancing, all the classes in which there's face to face communication has stopped because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to assess the perception and satisfaction of the online teaching in obstetrics and gynecology course in 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis. Methods: 92 students at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia have been involved in the study. We had two groups of students; first group took the lessons traditionally. The second group had taken the lessons via online methods. Results: There was a significant difference between the groups regarding satisfaction about e-learning, score and resource availability. Being more satisfied in groups who had online teaching was more than the other group. It was noted no difference in skills or performance between students of e-learning and those of traditional learning groups. However, students from different groups showed different impressions about the enjoyability of sessions, considering e-learning as a tool for future learning, limitation of student-teacher interaction during the course. Conclusion: E-learning had a significant positive impact on society during the Covid-19 pandemic, and future study systems may change radically accordingly.
