Competency-based medical education has challenged the educators to adopt new teaching modalities to instil self-directed learning among children. E-learning in the form of blended learning is studied to facilitate clinical microbiology learning. A class of 200 students was introduced to the process of Google Classroom. Two topics were discussed in online classrooms. The students attempted online tests on the topics, that were later discussed in small groups in offline class. Students found that analytical/interpretive questions accentuated learning. E-tutorials facilitate students' preparedness for small-group discussion.
