The case of Covid-19 affects the world of education. One of the consequences is that learning to be carried out online is decided by the Indonesian government. However, in learning, this strategy is burdensome for learners. The goal of this case study is to find out student opinions on online applications are used, what their challenges are, and what online learning expectations of students are. This research uses a questionnaire to find out student opinions using a Google form. Ninety-two students from various universities were the number of respondents. To get results, the questionnaires that have been collected are evaluated manually. The outcome of this study is that most of the software used by lecturers was unable to enhance the comprehension of the content being learned by students. During this pandemic, the hope of students in learning is to increase discussion time and time to complete assignments, not too many assignments, and the strategy of the university to have internet quota buying subsidies

“…Whilst pre and post course assessments done on general practitioners and pharmacists demonstrated scores increased by 17.4%, the impact on patient outcomes could not be established. 23 Our data collection methods were online and easily accessible. This information can be interrogated to provide important epidemiological data on these poorly documented NCDs.…”

Objective: To assess the learning impact of e-curriculums on healthcare professionals (HCPs). The second objective was to report the screening, detection and clinical features of patients with obstructive lung diseases (OLD) through an integrated care program at The Indus Hospital & Health Network (IHHN), Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: A retrospective, observational study was conducted in the Family Medicine outpatient department from January 2019 till July 2021. HCPs were trained on the diagnosis and management of OLD through e-learning. Patients were screened clinically for OLD and had spirometry performed if suspect. Baseline characteristics, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), spirometry and treatment modalities were collected. Univariate analysis was done on Excel and paired t-testing was performed on Stata 16. Results: Online training on clinical aspects of OLD was completed by 33 HCPs, amongst whom 77.9% demonstrated improved post-test evaluations of 26.8% (p=0.000). Of 1896 patients screened, 60.8% were diagnosed as OLD. Asthmatics accounted for 66.5% (60.9% females, median age 39 years). In 84.5% of patients who completed PROMs, poor control of symptoms was reported. Inhaler technique was taught in 66.5%. Breathless patients, with a high modified Medical Research Council score (mMRC ≥ 2, n=234), were referred for pulmonary rehabilitation in 92% of cases. Tobacco cessation advice was delivered to 61.1% of all current users (n=229). Conclusion: The OLD program uses capacity building, gold standard diagnostics and updated management strategies in primary care, allowing earlier diagnosis of suspected patients and implementation of evidence-based interventions, aiming to improve their morbidity and mortality. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.ICON-2022.5781 How to cite this:Saeed S, Siddiqui M, Altaf R.

Comparison of an individual's before and after scores permitted a proxy indication of the learning achieved as a result of completing the course.…”
