“…Chapters from Essential Cell Biology (Alberts et al, 2019) are leading and account for approximately 75% of the classes.Classes also focus on what is not explicitly mentioned in the book, like cell biological models and methods to detect nucleic acids and proteins. Students commit to five assignments: three exams (each 22% of the final grade), a presentation (14% of the final grade) and an essay (20% of the final grade) on a cell biological topic (De Vries, 2021). The latter two assignments are performed by duos.…”

IntroductionIt is beneficial for all biomedical track courses to train students early in their educational career in reading biomedical literature. A shortcoming of many biomed track courses during undergraduate education is that laboratory techniques necessary for fully understanding further reading of biomedical articles are not part of courses early in the curriculum. To bridge this gap, an educational investment is needed that will create confident and competent readers of scientific biomedical literature. All consecutive courses in the biomedical track may benefit from such an investment. Probably, the nescience of techniques needed for protein detection, which are part of virtually all composite figures in cell biological articles, forms the basis of such a gap. Activating forms of education were shown to be effective and are increasingly implemented in higher education.MethodsHere, the implementation of a flipped classroom approach for explaining ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, Western Blotting and flow cytometry as four common basic protein detection methods is described. The successfulness of the educational approach was assessed in the exam, where a comparison was made between the experts’ and receivers’ grades. Students gave feedback on whether this method made them more confident and competent readers of biomedical literature.ResultsExperts on the four techniques were successful in conveying their field of expertise since exam performances on the specific techniques were equally good between experts and receivers. The flipped classroom activity made students more confident (65% agreed vs. 18% disagreed) and more competent (79% agreed vs. 12% disagreed).ConclusionA simple and time-efficient intervention early in their educational career, using a flipped classroom approach has resulted in self-reported confident and competent readers of scientific cell biological literature.

“…Even if schools could offer the best tools, teachers need to be trained to use them. Without prior training or knowledge, many teachers found it difficult to switch to the online education mode [3]. It takes time to effectively translate their subject to an online platform.…”

This study examined Taiwanese university students’ transition to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Student participants completed a semi-structured questionnaire about their experience with remote learning in 2021. Questions were formulated with the goal to understand their comfort level in engaging via video conferencing, the effect of the residential environment on learners’ motivation, and the unique challenges faced as they quickly learned to adapt to digital classrooms.

“…Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, which has compelled many academic institutions to move their teaching and learning online, e-learning has gained importance in the contemporary environment [4]. E-learning has a number of benefits in this situation, including the capacity to provide content asynchronously and remotely, letting learners learn at their own pace and according to their own timetable [5].…”

Data migration could be a complex yet necessary activity during the lifecycle of an information system. All the e-Learning resources and activity material for all the available courses were migrated from a commercial platform to the free and open-source Moodle platform to ensure the availability of necessary features such as ability to monitor progress of learners, assessing the learning and to ensure sustainability. The migration process was methodically planned and executed, preserving the integrity of the data and rectifying omissions, errors, and inconsistencies. Utilising the existing Moodle e-Learning platform of the Ministry of Health as a shared resource is a practical and more long-lasting method of delivering e-Learning materials with the goal of enhancing the competence of healthcare professionals.
