Development and evaluation of a massive open online course (MOOC) to teach medical students the prudent use of antibiotics
A high dropout rate for voluntary MOOCs is generally reported. Therefore, a course completion rate of 23% is acceptable. The learners who completed the MOOC showed a significant increase in knowledge and self-confidence. The use of the MOOC, or parts of it, as digital learning format for undergraduate medical education appears promising.
