General information
EL-POCO stands for vascular e-Learning in the POst COvid era.
This project is the continuation of the EL-COVID study (more info here) and it aims to examine if the EL-COVID findings persist after the pandemic outbreak and whether the perception of vascular e-Learning is now different.
It was apparent that there are lessons to be learned from the COVID-19 related e-Learning exponential growth and the EL-POCO survey aims in providing more information of where vascular e-learning is currently at.
