Perception and Attitude of Medical Students Towards Online Learning

Background: On the 11th of March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as severe enough to warrant the act of social distancing. In response, the Libyan International University (LIU) implemented online learning platforms to reduce the rate of transmission among students and staff, allowing them to study and instruct from anywhere, at any time, and with more convenience. This study aimed to explore students’ attitudes and perceptions towards online learning in medical education. Methodology: A cross-sectional study involving 250 medical students was conducted. The completed questionnaire comprised questions related to demographic characteristics and their online learning experience. Statistical significance and inferential statistics were determined through SPSS software analysis.
