Universidad de León Balseiro Morales, Ana María [0000-0002-5121-7264] Cytology and histology teaching–learning Presential evaluation (face-to-face) Online evaluation COVID-19 Virtual microscopy Veterinary medicine 16 páginas, 3 tablas, 6 figuras. The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown brought numerous teaching challenges requiring innovative approaches to teaching and learning, including novel modes of content delivery, virtual classrooms, and online assessment schemes. The aim of this study is to describe and assess the efficacy of the methods implemented at the University of León (Spain) to adapt to lockdowns in the context of the Cytology and Histology (CH) course for veterinary medicine undergraduate students. To evaluate the success of lockdown-adapted methodologies, we used inferential statistical analysis to compare the academic outcomes of two cohorts: 2018–2019 (traditional face-to-face—presential—learning and evaluation) and 2019–2020 (some face-to-face and some online lockdown-adapted learning and online lockdown-adapted evaluation). This analysis considered scores in both theoretical and practical exams and students’ final subject score. We also evaluated the number of logs onto the Moodle platform throughout the 2019–2020 period, as well as performing a student satisfaction survey in both courses. The use of explanatory pre-recorded lectures, continuous online self-assessment tests, and virtual microscopy (VM) may have produced significant improvements in the acquisition of histology competencies among students in the lockdown cohort. However, we need to implement further strategies to improve the assessment of students’ true level of knowledge acquisition. According to the student feedback, VM is a well-accepted resource that is perceived as a flexible and enjoyable tool to use. However, while students found that the resource enhances their ability to learn about microscopic structures, they felt that it should not completely replace optical microscopy. The digital material used for teaching and student assessment was developed thanks to the funding of two grants from the University of León (Spain) from the Teaching Innovation Project Office titled “Introducción en el aula universitaria de una metodología docente virtual para la enseñanza práctica de asignaturas en los Grados en Veterinaria y Biología (PAGID2017)” and “Metodología docente virtual en la enseñanza práctica de asignaturas de los Grados en Veterinaria y Biología. Elaboración de nuevos materiales didácticos digitales (PAGID2018).
