Nephropathology is an integral component of nephrology education. Online teaching sites provide valuable educational materials to learners, but learner satisfaction has not been measured. We developed a nephropathology website and measured learners' satisfaction. The Nephrology On-Demand Histopathology website (http://blog.ecu.edu/sites/nephrologyondemand/?page_id=4502) provided nephropathologic specimens with explanations. Users were asked to complete a Likert-based survey (1-strongly agree . . . 5-strongly disagree) regarding four key areas of content quality: accuracy, currency, objectivity, and usefulness. Learners of all training levels perceived the content quality favorably. The mean (±SD) for accuracy was 1.70 (0.89), currency 1.62 (0.90), objectivity 1.80 (1.01), and usefulness 1.72 (0.95). Nephrology On-Demand Histopathology is a well-received teaching tool to learners of all training levels. Educators may consider using it, as well as other online nephropathology sites, as adjunctive teaching tools.
肾脏病病理学是肾脏病学教育的一个组成部分。在线教学网站为学习者提供了有价值的教育材料，但学习者的满意度尚未得到衡量。我们开发了一个肾脏病病理学网站，并测量了学习者的满意度。肾脏病按需组织病理学网站（http://blog.ecu.edu/sites/nephrologyondemand/?page_id=4502）提供了带解释的肾脏病学标本。用户被要求就内容质量的四个关键领域（准确性、时效性、客观性和有用性）完成基于李克特量表的调查（1-非常同意... 5-非常不同意）。所有培训水平的学习者都对内容质量评价良好。准确性的平均值（±标准差）为 1.70（0.89），时效性为 1.62（0.90），客观性为 1.80（1.01），有用性为 1.72（0.95）。肾脏病按需组织病理学是一种深受所有培训水平学习者欢迎的教学工具。教育者可以考虑将其用作补充教学工具，以及其他在线肾脏病学网站。
