Conditions studied: Online Learning

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of online medical education in PhD students. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the effect of onsite compared to online research courses on theoretical knowledge of research methodology and motivation for young medical researchers? Participants will join 20 research courses which are computer randomised to be delivered online (intervention) or onsite (control group) with 10-12 PhD students of each course (200-240 participants). Participants will be followed for up to two years after their course. The outcomes are * theoretical learning (main) * academic achievements * motivation * self-efficacy Researchers will compare online and onsite research courses to see if there is a difference in theoretical learning, academic achievements, motivation and self-efficacy.
