Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic forced educational institutions worldwide to shift to online learning as a means to continue education during lockdowns and social distancing measures. This study investigates the effectiveness of online learning in comparison to traditional on-campus learning, specifically within the context of medical education.
Methods: Two hundred and three first- and second-year medical students at King Saud University participated in this randomized experimental study. The research employed written exams to evaluate learning outcomes, with a focus on the understanding of lecture content. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Studies (SPSS 22).
Results: The findings reveal that while online learning attained similar learning outcomes to on-campus learning for content related to the early parts of the lecture, significantly lower outcomes were achieved by the online learners as the lecture progressed. Moreover, a smaller percentage of online students demonstrated a full understanding of the lecture material compared to on-campus students.
Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of assessing the effectiveness of online learning methods, particularly in medical education, to address students' needs better and improve the quality of online learning systems.

Deficiency or excess of mineral elements in the environment is a primary factor limiting crop yields and nutritional quality. Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is an important aquatic crop in Asia, but the mechanism for accumulating mineral nutrients and coping with nutrient deficiency/excess is still largely unknown. Here, we identified NnMTP10, a member of the cation diffusion facilitator family, by screening the cDNA library of lotus.

Intellectual property laws were not originally designed to address digital classrooms and shared online learning environments, but these concerns are now relevant to many educational institutions. The recent expansion of technology utilization in health professions education presents educators with the challenges to accurately interpret copyright law and implement best practices under the tenets of fair use. Discerning legal and ethical parameters relevant to copyright law will encourage the implementation of best practices in disseminating information and creating appropriate learning activities in the age of digital education.
