Comparison of online learning designs during the COVID-19 pandemic within bioinformatics courses in higher education.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, new strategies had to be adopted to move from classroom-based education to online education, in a very short time. The lack of time to set up these strategies, hindered a proper design of online instructions and delivery of knowledge. Bioinformatics-related training and other onsite practical education, tend to rely on extensive practice, where students and instructors have a face-to-face interaction to improve the learning outcome. For these courses to maintain their high quality when adapted as online courses, different designs need to be tested and the students' perceptions need to be heard.

Results

This study focuses on short bioinformatics-related courses for graduate students at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, wh
