Background: Clinical teaching is a form of interpersonal communication between a teacher and learner. It mainly involves a patient or a patient scenario; the student learns how to evaluate a patient and manage the problem. The ideal clinical teaching and learning are done in the patient care area, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, all clinical and classroom teaching is suspended now.Objective: This study's main purpose was to assess medical students' perceptions and experiences with online clinical teaching and learning.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences (CoMHS). All students in 6 and 7 years consented to participate in the survey for a self-filled study (google form). Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0). Data were expressed in frequencies for questionnaire responses calculated for all variables in numbers and percentages. Independent sample t-test was used to compare differences between two groups. Result: Ninety-one students participated in the study, of which 10.2% were male, and 46.2% were Omani citizens. 27.5% of students were 6th year, and 72.5% were 7th-year students. 69.2% of students did not experience any login/registration problem in GoToWebinar most of the time. Table 1 shows the student's responses in this regard. A significant statistical difference (p- <0.001; 95 % CI: 0.34-0.91) was observed between 6th year (mean-2.79±0.62) and 7th year students (mean-2.16±0.51). Conclusion: Medical students have shown a positive attitude and motivation towards webinar clinical teaching. Online webinar teaching can offer more diverse and compelling educational opportunities. Medical students in clinical years are self-directed learners but need in-depth learning with maximum hands-on practice. The Webinar teaches an impact on medical student education, particularly affecting the hands-on approach and training, which is limited and mandatory to become a doctor.

Detta examensarbete är ett utvecklingsarbete av demonstrationsutrustning för enkel visning av fördelarna med M2M-tekniken vid insamling av mätdata och automatisk övervakning. Arbetet består av en praktisk del, som utgörs av demonstrationsväskan, och en mer teoretisk del, som utgörs av demonstrationsprogrammet.

Programmet har utvecklats till att med ett mätkort kopplat till en PC samla in mätvärden (spänningar), dessa skickas sedan som ett SMS med ett GSM-modem till en mottagare. Mottagaren kan vara en serviceman som vill ha felmeddelanden från utrustning inom dennes ansvarsområde, mottagaren kan även vara en server som rymmer en databas vilken används för att spara viktiga mätvärden för längre tid, t.ex. loggning av elförbrukning hos något kraftbolags kund.

Det hela har alltså resulterat i ett färdigt och väl fungerande program, som utför just det som är uppdraget ovan. Mätresultatenhar tillräcklig noggrannhet för detta uppdrag om att demonstrera fördelarna med M2M-tekniken, och mätresultatet kommer även fram till mottagaren i sin rätta form.

Detta betyder att M2M Communication AB nu kan demonstrera vinsten med M2M-tekniken för potentiell kund på ett enkelt och förklarande sätt. Integrerat i demonstrationsutrustningen har nu också företaget fått en enkel och självklar utrusning för att i praktiken se hur nya givare och annan utrusning fungerar ihop med ComHost 300 som är företagets primära produkt.

The goal with this master thesis is to develop a simple equipment to show the advantage of using M2M-technic when collect measured data and when using automatic monitoring of alarm and sensors. The thesis is divided in two parts, a practical part that corresponds to a case with sensors and equipment. The case is used to collect measure data to be used when demonstrating the theoretical part, which corresponds to the software program. The software program is developed to measure voltage with the data acquisition card, and then send them as a SMS text message via the GSM network. For this tasks the software also have to control the GSM-modem. This text message is either sent to a computer for logging in a database, or to the service department who owns the equipment measured.

This work has ended up in well function software that can be installed on a PC-system with a Windows 2000(tm) operation system. The accuracy on the measured data is good enough for the task to demonstrate the function of the M2M-technic. The text message is also arrive to the receiver as expected.

The result of this master thesis ends up giving the company M2M Communication AB the possibility to demonstrate the M2M-technic on a simple and explaining manner for a potential customer. Integrated in the new equipment the company also has been given a possibility to test new sensors and signal sources in a real world M2M test.
