Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic: Perceptions of allied health sciences undergraduates.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of Allied Health Sciences undergraduates towards online learning during the COVID 19 outbreak.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with undergraduates of the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. A self-administered online questionnaire consisted of four sections to evaluate demographic information; details of online learning; perspectives and challenges on online learning were used for data collection.
resultsA total of 518 responses were received from the five disciplines of radiography (32.8%), nursing (24.9%), medical laboratory sciences (18.2%), pharmacy (14.5%), and physiotherapy (9.7%), resulting in a 76.4% response rate. The majority preferred smartphones (73.2%) for online access, and Zoom is the most utilized online communicating platform (72.8%). The overall respondent's perception score ranged from 9 to 27 (Positive ≥ 18, Neutral = 18, Negative ≤ 18) with a mean (SD) of 20.4 (4.0). Even though the majority (59.7%) agreed that online learning is more comfortable to communicate than conventional learning, most respondents (48.3%) have a negative perception towards offering practical and clinical-based subjects online. Poor internet connections (67.0%) and the lack of electronic devices (53.3%) were the most significant challenges encountered during online learning.
conclusionThe majority of the students have a positive perception towards online learning. Online learning appears to be an efficient learning strategy when students have equal access to online facilities. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Although the allied health undergraduates faced several challenges, they demonstrated their versatility and acceptance of the online learning strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore a well-structured online learning programme will be beneficial for students to continue their studies during a pandemic.
