Content Development for Blended Learning in Pharmaceutical Preparations

The purpose of this research was to improve the pharmacy technician students' comprehensive knowledge and practice in pharmaceutical preparations by using blended learning with PharTech E-learning. The e-learning program was developed for the students to submit their pharmaceutical preparation assignments during their hospital internship. In this tool, users are able to create keywords related to assignment contents, upload electronic data files to share with friends, search and download peers' assignments. The results found that the number of students with blended learning intervention achieved the learning outcomes more than that of the traditional learning group, not only theoretical but also practical education. Most students gave positive feedback on the PharTech E-learning program satisfaction, blended learning activity satisfaction and evaluation process satisfaction. The e-learning is effective in enhancing students' knowledge and skill. Internship experience in pharmaceutical preparation can transfer among the learners through online learning.
