Abstract

The situation of confinement due to the covid-19 pandemic has led to accelerate the process of integration of ICT in the Degree in Medicine to be able to finish the academic year. In this study we evaluated the student assessment of four screencast seminars in Endocrinology, given in 5th grade of Medical Degree. The video and audio recording of four seminars was made, the contents were edited with the Avid Media Composer First editing software, and the final production of the video was made in the mp4 h264 format with a duration of 10-15 minutes; being published in the "Virtual Classroom" platform of the University of Murcia. The evaluation of the seminars was done through an online questionnaire. In order to analyze the opinion of the students, a satisfaction survey was administered, with an evaluation by means of a Likert type scale. The evaluation questionnaires were carried out by 195 students. The score was higher than 8 in the four seminars. The seminars had 373, 519, 452 and 390 views, respectively. The average evaluation of the questions in the satisfaction survey were: importance of the seminar: 4.51 ±0.62, usefulness: 4.58 ±0.59, adequacy of the methodology: 4.46 ±0.66, presentation of the contents: 4.62 ±0.64, duration: 4.48 ±0.82, mastery of the subject by the teachers: 4.92 ±0.29, motivation of the students: 4.50 ±0.67. The screencast has turned out to be an adequate multimedia resource to adapt the practical seminars of Endocrinology in the Degree in Medicine.
