Experiences and perception of dentistry students and professors regarding online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The present study aimed to describe the perception of Dentistry professors and students regarding the activities developed in virtual environments during the period of social isolation. Through self-administered questionnaires, professors and students from four Dentistry courses were invited to answer objective and subjective questions about their experiences and sensations during the period. Both professors and students consider that the learning in this period was inferior to the face-to-face, however, they agree with the maintenance of the virtual classes during the pandemic period.
