    abstract = "This dataset supports the findings of the vascular e-Learning during the
COVID-19 pandemic survey (the EL-COVID survey). The General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union was taken into
consideration in all steps of data handling. The survey was approved by
the institutional ethics committee of the Primary Investigator and an
online English survey consisting of 18 questions was developed ad-hoc. A
bilingual English-Mandarin version of the questionnaire was developed
according to the instructions of the Chinese Medical Association in
order to be used in mainland People's Republic of China. Differences
between the two questionnaires were minor and did affect the process of
data collection. Both questionnaires were hosted online.
The EL-COVID survey was advertised through major social media. All
national and regional contributors contacted their respective colleagues
through direct messaging on social media or by email. Eight national
societies or groups supported the dissemination of the EL-COVID survey.
The data provided demographics information of the EL-COVID participants
and an insight on the level of difficulty in accessing or citing
previously attended online activities and whether participants were keen
on citing these activities in their Curricula Vitae. A categorization of
additional comments made by the participants are also based on the data.
The survey responses were filtered, anonymized and submitted to
descriptive analysis of percentage. (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier Inc."
