The lack of time to set up these strategies, hindered a proper design of online instructions and delivery of knowledge. Bioinformatics-related training and other onsite practical education, tend to rely on extensive practice, where students and instructors have a face-to-face interaction to improve the learning outcome. For these courses to maintain their high quality when adapted as online courses, different designs need to be tested and the students\u2019 perceptions need to be heard.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study focuses on short bioinformatics-related courses for graduate students at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, which were originally developed for onsite training. Once adapted as online courses, several modifications in their design were tested to obtain the best fitting learning strategy for the students. To improve the online learning experience, we propose a combination of: (i) short synchronized sessions, (ii) extended time for own and group practical work, (iii) recorded live lectures and (iv) increased opportunities for feedback in several formats.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btab304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]],"date-time":"2021-04-25T11:10:29Z","timestamp":1619349029000},"page":"i9-i15","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Comparison of online learning designs during the COVID-19 pandemic within bioinformatics courses in higher education"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Sanna","family":"Abrahamsson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bioinformatics Core Facility, University of Gothenburg , Gothenburg, 405 30, Sweden"}]},{"given":"Marcela","family":"D\u00e1vila L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bioinformatics Core Facility, University of Gothenburg , Gothenburg, 405 30, Sweden"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024030711302013900_btab304-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113","DOI":"10.1002\/hbe2.191","article-title":"COVID-19 and online teaching in higher education: a case study of Peking University","volume":"2","author":"Bao","year":"2020","journal-title":"Hum.
