Learners n = 326	146	44.8%
Medical students (n = 131)	54	41.2%	ns
Residents (n = 82)	23	28.0%
Fellows (n = 113)	68	60.2%

Table 2. Attendance of learners according the type of online teaching

	Asynchronous presentations (n = 105)			Synchronous live classes(n = 91)
	Students (n = 54)	Fellows (n = 51)	p <0.001	Residents (n = 23)	Fellows (n = 68)	p<0.002	p <0.001
None	14 (26%)	0 (0%)		0 (0%)	1 (1%)
Less than half	15 (28%)	20 (39%)		5 (22%)	10 (15%)
More than half	17 (31%)	19 (37%)		10 (43%)	16 (24%)
All	8 (15%)	12 (22%)		8 (35%)	41 (60%)

For the purpose of the study, the slide-decks and the prerecorded slide-based lectures were regrouped in one type of teaching called asynchronous presentations, whereas webinars were called synchronous live classes
