Due to the COVID-19 pandemic during spring semester 2020, teachers and students were forced to engage in online instruction. However, there is little evidence on the feasibility of online physiology teaching. This study demonstrated a 3-wk preliminary online physiology course based on Rain Classroom assisted by the mobile application WeChat. Eighty-seven nursing undergraduate students attended an online physiology course during the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year from March 9 to March 29. We determined the effects of the online physiology learning based on in-class tests, preclass preparation, and review rates for the course materials. We also measured the students' perceptions and attitudes about online learning with a questionnaire survey. Posttest scores from the first week to the third week in online physiology course (7.22 ± 1.83, 7.68 ± 2.09, and 6.21 ± 2.92, respectively) exceeded the pretest scores (5.32 ± 2.14, 6.26 ± 2.49, and 3.72 ± 2.22, respectively), and this finding was statistically significant (all < 0.001). Moreover, the pretest scores were significant positive predictors of final grade (all < 0.01). In addition, the percentage of preclass preparation increased in 3 wk, from 43.68% to 57.47% to 68.97%. From the first week to the third week, the review rate increased from 86.21% to 91.95%; however, the second week was the lowest of all (72.41%). Finally, students' perceptions about their online physiology learning experiences were favorable. In conclusion, online physiology instruction based on Rain Classroom assisted by WeChat was an effective strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
由于 2020 年春季学期的 COVID-19 大流行，教师和学生被迫进行在线教学。然而，关于在线生理学教学可行性的证据很少。本研究展示了基于雨课堂并结合微信移动应用的 3 周初步在线生理学课程。2019-2020 学年春季学期，87 名护理本科学生于 3 月 9 日至 3 月 29 日参加了在线生理学课程。我们根据课堂测试、课前准备和课程材料复习率来确定在线生理学学习的效果。我们还通过问卷调查来衡量学生对在线学习的看法和态度。在线生理学课程第一周到第三周的期末考试成绩（分别为 7.22±1.83、7.68±2.09 和 6.21±2.92）高于期中考试成绩（分别为 5.32±1.84、6.26±2.49 和 3.72±2.22），且这一发现具有统计学意义（均<0.001）。此外，期中考试成绩是期末考试成绩的显著正向预测因素（均<0.01）。此外，课前准备的比例在 3 周内从 43.68%增加到 57.47%再到 68.97%。从第一周到第三周，复习率从 86.21%增加到 91.95%；然而，第二周是所有周中最低的（72.41%）。最后，学生对他们的在线生理学学习体验的看法是积极的。总之，基于雨课堂并结合微信的在线生理学教学在 COVID-19 大流行期间是一种有效的策略。
