Comparing in-person and virtual delivery of a national ophthalmology revision course: a mixed-methods evaluation
The transition to virtual teaching can be efficient and effective for the delivery of revision courses. Students benefit from the removal of geographic barriers, the ability to interact with educators via technology-enhanced learning (TEL) and the flexibility of asynchronous virtual learning. This study highlights how educators can best utilise technological advances to improve online learning, reach larger audiences and actively monitor engagement. Virtual teaching enhanced by TEL can be used in place of in-person teaching to widen access to education and improve the student experience in large-group teaching.
