ABSTRACT

Introduction: Online learning environments offer new forms of communication allowing teachers and students to exchange information, knowledge and ideas, either asynchronously or in real time. An elective Human Genetics course was taught online to complement the training of undergraduate health sciences students.
Objective: Evaluate the satisfaction with and perception of the work done in a virtual Human Genetics course taught to university health sciences students from the University of Concepción.
Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional non-experimental study was conducted. A survey containing open-ended and closed-ended questions was used to determine the students' level of satisfaction with pedagogical and technological aspects of the course, and with the virtual learning environment.
Results: Students ranked the virtual course as satisfactory. Concerning perception of the virtual environment, positive opinions referred to the students' autonomy (40%) and the learning experience itself (38%). Negative opinions focused on the students' responsibility towards learning (75%) and their relationship to the teacher (25%).
Conclusions: The virtual course proved to be useful to learn about Human Genetics, as well as an environment fostering the acquisition of knowledge and the development of competences such as autonomy and team work.
