Summary: This study compared the results of online and on-site re-examinations and found that online re-examination achieved the same selective effect as on-site re-examination during the COVID-19 pandemic. Effective time management, a standardized test question template, well-trained staff, and effective technology are key to the success of online re-examination.

Summary: This study aimed to compare different online synchronous interactive learning activities in terms of students' perceptions and identify factors influencing these perceptions. The results from a questionnaire-based study of clinical year medical students at the University of Hong Kong showed that online problem-based learning/tutorial received the highest perception score, while bedside teaching received the lowest score. Students showed a preference for online problem-based learning/tutorial and lectures over face-to-face classes. However, distraction remained a significant issue in all four learning activities. Further research is needed to minimize distraction during online classes.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the satisfaction level with fully online courses was low, especially among high-achieving students. Both students and faculty members preferred the blended format for future teaching. Small group active-learning strategies and web-based interactive tools may facilitate engagement and interaction between students and faculty members.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on education, particularly university students who transitioned from face-to-face teaching to emergency remote teaching. This change affected their educational experience and performance, as well as their emotional and mental well-being. However, reflecting on the lessons learned during this transition will help create effective learning scenarios for the new normal. This study aims to describe the experiences and lessons learned from university students in Latin America who have returned to face-to-face instruction after emergency remote teaching.

Summary: The teaching-learning process of reading and writing plays a crucial role in the psycho-emotional and socio-psychological development of school-age children. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the educational context, forcing the teaching-learning process to adapt to hybrid or online formats. This study aims to analyze the impact of these socio-psychological changes on the emotions linked to the teaching process and learning of reading and writing, and provide recommendations for face-to-face learning in the post-COVID-19 era.

Summary: The study showed that despite modifications to the anatomy education schedule at Seoul National University College of Medicine due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 among students, faculty, and staff during laboratory sessions. Most students experienced a significant decrease in scores on written and practical examinations in 2020 compared to 2019, except for the trunk session that utilized a virtual anatomy application, which saw an improvement in practical examination scores. This highlights the importance of developing appropriate education programs to adapt to pandemic restrictions.

Summary: The study found that 60% of students enjoyed learning anatomy through dissection videos, but most students thought the videos should be shorter. The majority of students liked having an instructor guide them through the videos and wanted to discuss the content with the instructor afterwards. While most students preferred having access to the videos at any time, only a minority were willing to completely replace cadaveric prosections with dissection videos.
