Assessment and evaluation are major teaching activities which are essential to achieve the goal of medical education. During COVID-19 pandemic, a novel assessment and evaluation system has been developed in the School of Basic Medical Sciences, Peking University, and aimed at increasing the competence of students. We established a unique evaluation method for commonly used lecture-based teaching, experiment-based teaching and group discussion learning. The comprehensive assessment of the pre-clinical stage was set up to reflect the whole learning effects. Guided by the student-centered and learning outcome-improving rationale, the new assessment and evaluation system of the online teaching during COVID-19 pandemic was utilized together with the classical offline onsite teaching evaluation system. The establishment of the novel online teaching evaluation system provides a solid platform for the transformation of medical education from traditional offline teaching to mixed offline and online teaching in the post-COVID-19 era.
