Efficacy of LMS for teaching biochemistry to medical students in India during the CoVid-19 pandemic

Abstract

During the pandemic, medical education shifted to online platforms, using the Learning Management System (LMS) for lectures, video recordings, e-resources, and assessments. An inductive qualitative study was conducted among I MBBS students for Biochemistry to assess LMS acceptance and performance. Out of 150 students, 99 responded with 70.7% finding LMS effective, 67.74% agreeing it was user-friendly, and 52.8% satisfied with the grading system. Challenges included internet connectivity, but overall, students' feedback indicated LMS acceptance with academic flexibility, highlighting its potential to enhance medical education, especially during times when e-learning becomes essential.
