aResponses to questions about the feedback on Web-based training platform were on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 5 (strongly disagree).
bOR: odds ratio.
cUnivariate logistic regression analysis was used to compare the differences between two groups (dependent variable as two categories with combining scores 1, 2 into one category and scores 3, 4, 5 to another category).
