Innovative development ideas of web-based medical teaching during the COVID-19 epidemic.

OBJECTIVE: In response to the sudden COVID-19 epidemic outbreak, China's Ministry of Education proposed "continuing teaching and learning regardless of suspending classes" to provide "available courses and teachers" for students. Web-based teaching has become the main teaching method of medical colleges and universities during the COVID-19 epidemic period. Before the outbreak, the concept and technology of web-based teaching had been partially implemented. The epidemic situation has promoted the implementation of large-scale web-based teaching and the multidimensional development of education in China. Furthermore, there are higher requirements for information teaching. Teachers and students cannot adapt to the web-based teaching mode. The lack of interaction is a problem in the web-based teaching. To adapt to the rapid development of information technology, medical colleges and universities must consider the COVID-19 epidemic as an opportunity to quickly update educational concepts, train teachers' Internet thinking, innovate the web-based teaching mode, and make full use of the network platform to provide better teaching and services. Moreover, medical colleges and universities should eliminate the weaknesses of web-based teaching and improve the quality and connotation of teaching.
