Hosted by the Technology in Pharmacy Education and Learning SIG
Technology-driven educational strategies can enhance student engagement, improve knowledge retention, and bridge the gap between foundational sciences and clinical application. This webinar will highlight two innovative, accessible approaches from different institutions to pharmacy education: an interactive medicinal chemistry tutorial designed to reinforce basic science concepts with guided feedback, and an interactive fiction (IF) game that immerses students in dyslipidemia management through gamification. Presenters will share lessons learned, implementation strategies, and student performance insights to help faculty integrate these tools into their own teaching practices effectively.
Objectives:
- Identify key strategies for designing, piloting, and implementing interactive technology-based learning tools in pharmacy education and highlight lessons learned from successful teams
- Explore methods to seamlessly integrate technology-enhanced learning into existing pharmacy curricula
- Develop a logic framework for creating student-centered guided tutorials or interactive games
- Evaluate student engagement and learning outcomes using built-in analytics and feedback mechanisms
