Electronic Learning in Undergraduate Medical Education
Abstract
Objective: This study was designed to assess the impact of elec-tronic education on students' learning levels and to compare the video-based electronic learning with text-based learning among medical faculty students.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a single center, cross-sectional study. All of the volunteers were fourth year students of the medical faculty. All students were randomly divided into two groups. Each group had 100 students. In group 1, all students were educated by video-based electronic learning about wound healing, and in group 2, all students were educated by standard lectures from textbook. Both groups were evaluated according to their correct response rates.
Results: The video-based learning increased the correct response rates by 25 fold for more than five questions (OR: 25, p=0.0001) and increased the correct response rates by 10 fold for more than seven questions (OR: 10, p=0.0001).
Conclusion: In this study, video-based learning was found more successful than the text-based learning as a learning method.
