The blended method of teaching involves replacing part of the face-to-face interaction with online instruction. In short, the modern study demonstrated a largely positive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on online medical education.Ī growing number of colleges and universities have been implementing a transition from traditional face-to-face teaching methods to online teaching or a combination of online and traditional teaching (blending) . Consequently, 76% of participants intended to integrate the online expertise garnered during the pandemic into their practice. Despite these challenges, most of the respondents (70.7%) believed that the COVID-19 pandemic has boosted their confidence in the effectiveness of online medical education. The reported challenges to online medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic included issues related to communication (59%), student assessment (57.5%), use of technology tools (56.5%), online experience (55%), pandemic-related anxiety or stress (48%), time management (35%), and technophobia (17%). Among the respondents, 41.8% reported having little or no online teaching/learning experience before the pandemic, and 62.5% preferred blending online and face-to-face instruction. We obtained 208 responses (16.1%) 54.8% of the respondents were females, and 66.8% were medical students 14.9% were master’s students, and 18.3% were faculty. Between March and April 2020, we emailed a survey to 1,289 students and faculty members of the COM. The present study aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on online education at the College of Medicine (COM) of Alfaisal University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Hence, online classes have become a key component in the continuity of education. Governments have issued stay-at-home directives, and as a result, colleges and universities have been shut down across the world. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all aspects of our lives, including education and the economy, as we know it.
