Mobile electrocardiogram (ECG) devices are valuable tools for teaching ECG interpretation. The primary purpose of this follow-up study was to determine if an ECG active learning session could be safely and effectively performed during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic using a newly developed mobile 6-lead ECG device. Additionally, we examined the educational impact of these active learning sessions on student knowledge of cardiovascular physiology and the utility of the mobile 6-lead ECG device in a classroom setting. In this study, first-year medical students (MS1) performed four active learning activities using the new mobile 6-lead ECG device. Data were collected from 42 MS1s through a quantitative survey administered in September 2020. Overall, students felt the activity enhanced their understanding of the course material and that the activity was performed safely and in compliance with local COVID-19 guidelines. These results emphasize student preference for hands-on, small group learning activities in spite of the pandemic.
移动心电图（ECG）设备是教授心电图解读的有价值的工具。本随访研究的主要目的是确定在使用新开发的移动 6 导联 ECG 设备的情况下，能否在 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间安全有效地进行 ECG 主动学习课程。此外，我们还研究了这些主动学习课程对学生心血管生理学知识的教育影响，以及移动 6 导联 ECG 设备在课堂环境中的实用性。在这项研究中，一年级医学生（MS1）使用新的移动 6 导联 ECG 设备进行了四项主动学习活动。通过 2020 年 9 月进行的一项定量调查，从 42 名 MS1 中收集了数据。总体而言，学生们认为该活动增强了他们对课程材料的理解，并且该活动是安全进行的，符合当地 COVID-19 指南。这些结果强调了尽管存在大流行，学生仍偏爱动手操作和小组学习活动。
