Abstract

BACKGROUND

• The use of technology both inside and outside the classroom is integral to the facilitation of pharmacy students’ learning.¹

• Technology is allowing education to restructure classroom time for something other than simple transmission of factual information and to adopt an evidence-based approach to instructional innovation and reform.¹

• Pharmacy colleges and schools should incorporate technologies that students frequently use and that positively impact learning.²

• Limited assessment of the impact of technology on student performance is available including teaching and learning from peers.^1,2

• An infectious diseases elective course developed at the Jefferson School of Pharmacy incorporated the use of contemporary technology to facilitate student learning and peer-generated instruction.
