Digital transformation in education and relevant calls for action are recognised global priorities aimed to support education and training in the digital age. The experiences from the emergency remote teaching during the COVID‐19 pandemic and recent research findings reveal relevant advantages, challenges, as well as different students and teaching staff perspectives which should be carefully considered and integrated into institutional strategies and policies to improve and enrich students’ learning experience. The present study aimed to explore health sciences students' perspectives on online teaching and learning (T&L) in four domains—Satisfaction, Motivation, Interaction and Challenges, and to identify the preferred T&L models or tools. A total of 1,041 responses were collected, including 476 dental medicine (45.7%), 399 pharmacy (38.3%), and 166 medical students (15.9%). Overall Satisfaction was quite high (4.0 ± 1.2; out of 5), followed by satisfactory Interaction (3.4 ± 1.4), whereas Motivation was quite low on average (3.0 ± 1.5). Challenges in online T&L were not markedly expressed (3.0 ± 1.6). The majority of students (46.6%) opted for the blended model as the preferred T&L model. Moodle lessons were perceived as the most useful online T&L tool (45.5% of students), followed by video materials (32.2%). Other T&L tools which require more active student's role, such as short test/quiz, and group or team assignment were declared as less favourable. The findings from the current study may contribute to raising the awareness of academic staff and higher institutions management about the student attitudes and needs related to online T&L and inform institutional planning, decision‐making and policy development.

健康科学专业学生对在线教学的看法：将影响扩展到 COVID-19 大流行之外

教育数字化转型和相关行动呼吁被视为全球优先事项，旨在支持数字时代的教育和培训。 COVID-19大流行期间的紧急远程教学的经验和最近的研究结果揭示了相关的优势、挑战以及不同的学生和教师的观点，应仔细考虑并将其纳入机构战略和政策中，以改善和丰富学生的学习学习经验。本研究旨在探讨健康科学专业学生对四个领域在线教学 (T&L) 的看法：满意度、动力、互动和挑战，并确定首选的运输与物流模型或工具。共收集到 1,041 份回复，其中牙科医学 476 份（45.7%）、药学 399 份（38.3%）和医学生 166 份（15.9%）。全面的满意相当高（4.0 ± 1.2；满分 5 分），其次是令人满意的相互作用(3.4±1.4)，而动机平均而言相当低（3.0 ± 1.5）。挑战在线 T&L 中的差异没有显着表达 (3.0 ± 1.6)。大多数学生 (46.6%) 选择混合模式作为首选 T&L 模式。 Moodle 课程被认为是最有用的在线 T&L 工具（45.5% 的学生），其次是视频材料（32.2%）。其他需要更积极的学生角色的 T&L 工具，例如简短的测试/测验以及小组或团队作业，被认为不太受欢迎。当前研究的结果可能有助于提高学术人员和高等院校管理人员对在线 T&L 相关学生态度和需求的认识，并为机构规划、决策和政策制定提供信息。
