Abstract
BACKGROUND: With increasing access to online teaching materials, traditional teaching methods at universities need to be questioned in the context of digital transformation. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether electronic learning may serve as or replace conventional internship in otorhinolaryngology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A completely digital electronic learning concept was created and made available at the online learning platform ILIAS. Students were introduced to the program. Four learning units (neck [I], pharynx/larynx [II], nose [III], ear [IV]) were set up, with a topic-related multiple-choice test at the end of each unit. The students took part in the evaluation before and after completion of the course. RESULTS: A total of 105 students participated in the evaluation before and 85 students after the electronic learning program. After completing the courses, the majority of students (52.94%) stated to be more satisfied with the content and the presentation of the learning sequences as well as with their own self-control concerning learning pace and time management compared to the situation before completing the program (34.29%; p < 0.0001). The majority of students (54.12%) stated that they would appreciate the electronic learning program in addition to practical internship. CONCLUSION: The electronic learning program is a promising approach to supplement traditional learning and internships. An expansion of digital teaching proposals should be supported based on this study.
