A massive open online course to teach undergraduate medical students in oncology: keys of success.

ABSTRACT: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are gaining popularity in education while classroom lectures are being deserted, especially after COVID-19 pandemic. Their added value in teaching undergraduate medical students remains to be confirmed. This study evaluated a MOOC devoted to undergraduate medical students in a blended oncology-teaching university program. It was the first to target undergraduate medical students in oncology at its beginning. Students were asked to participate in a survey before and after MOOC to explore interactions between their characteristics and final grades, 65% of the participating students belonged to the rich class. 70% of the students completed the MOOC. Grades distributions were similar before and after MOOC implementation, so MOOC doesn't alter overall results
