Abstract: Objective To investigate the current state of online teaching in universities from the perspectives of teachers and students and propose optimization paths for improving the quality of online teaching in Chinese universities. Methods A self-designed questionnaire survey was conducted from March to September 2022 at Dalian Medical University, Dalian University of Technology, and Dalian University of Foreign Languages. The survey included 451 teachers and 1 805 students, and the results were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. Results A total of 258(57.2%) teachers and 1 239(68.6%) students held a supportive attitude towards online courses. 315(69.8%) teachers and 815(45.2%) students believed that ″full online live streaming″ is the most suitable form of online teaching. A total of 240(53.2%) teachers and 1 202(66.6%) students held a positive attitude towards the future normalization of online teaching in daily education. There were significant differences in opinions regarding the adjustment of online teaching plans: 345(76.5%) teachers believed ″adjustments are needed,″ while 949(52.6%) students believed ″adjustments are not needed.″ Conclusions Currently, both teachers and students hold supportive attitudes towards online teaching. Universities need to rationally analyze the advantages and disadvantages of online teaching, choose online teaching methods that highly match student needs and course characteristics, innovate course construction and design, and improve the online teaching quality evaluation system.
