The School of Pharmacy at SU re-engineered the Pharmacy Practice 3 (PP3) class to increase the level of attainment by increasing the opportunities for students to rehearse and receive feedback on professional practice skills. The class redesign involved the development of a bespoke online virtual tutor which allowed students to engage in regular self-testing with immediate feedback. Learning was reinforced by linking face-to-face activities with those online. During the two years of REAP pass rates at the first attempt have increased from 68% to 87%. The results of the completed redesign can be found by following the links listed below:
Department: | School of Pharmacy |
Class/Course: | Pharmacy Practice 3 (PP3) |
Students: | 240 |
Technology: | Online simulation tutorial |
Assessment Activities: | Regular online tasks to improve student engagement, multiple opportunities for self-testing and regular feedback. |
Efficiencies: | Savings in staff time due to reduced need for remedial revision work with individual students. |
Learning Gains: | Significant gain in overall exam mark in 2006/07 (+16%) compared to 2005/06 diet. “The tutorial was an excellent resource and learning tool to supplement our class” Simulated exactly what it would be like to carry out a check on a prescription, allowing us to experience the difficulties involved and discover where we needed improvement” Student comments |
