Materials And Methods:
This cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted in 2022 at AJA University of Medical Sciences on a sample of 50 paramedical students selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a researcher-developed instrument titled the E-Learning Satisfaction Questionnaire, which consists of 43 items across five domains. Descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum scores, were analyzed using SPSS version 23.
Results:
This study at AJA University of Medical Sciences found virtual education quality to be satisfactory, with a mean score of 80.8 ± 19.2. Most students (78.8%) rated the educational content as excellent, and 74% were satisfied with its alignment to learning objectives. Real-time interaction between instructors and students received an 82.6% excellent rating. Accessibility to self-assessment exams was good for 88% of participants, and 70.5% were satisfied with the Navid system. Additionally, 80.7% rated the Navid and Skyroom platforms positively. Overall, students showed high satisfaction with the quality, interaction, accessibility, and infrastructure of the virtual education program.
Conclusion:
AJA University of Medical Sciences effectively implemented virtual education programs, demonstrating their potential in enhancing educational delivery. The findings underscore the necessity for a dedicated paramedical faculty initiative aimed at improving student learning outcomes and fostering innovative, interactive, and student-centered teaching methodologies.
