tlooto Summary

The implementation of e-learning in the Master of Medical Physics programme at the University of Malaya during a partial lockdown from March to June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic is presented.

Abstract

Highlights • The Internet-based e-learning gave students the flexibility of education.• Students preferred face-to-face teaching but adapted to Internet-based e-learning.• Clinical experience can never be replaced entirely via e-learning platforms.• Challenges include poor Internet connectivity, low morale and mental stress.• Hybrid learning strategies would become more common even after the COVID-19 crisis.
