Full Description
This innovative and instructional online course helps students learn and review key concepts in pharmacology in unique and engaging ways. Each visually stimulating module requires students' interaction, making them active participants in their own learning. This course, ideal for self-study or faculty-driven instruction, is divided into three distinct sections: Tutorial, Case Studies, and NCLEX-Style Quizzes. Within the Tutorial are several animations that demonstrate key concepts; inviting graphic presentations of content; and interactive self-assessment exercises. Also in the Tutorial, Key Terms are highlighted and link to relevant and user-friendly definitions. The Case Studies are also graphic and interactive, with a visual representation of a virtual client as well as opportunities for decision-making. The NCLEX-Style Quiz is meant to follow the module, allowing students the chance to evaluate their own understanding. Comprehensive remediation information lets them brush up on material of their own choosing. Also included in this course are module-specific journal articles, links to relevant Web sites, and bibliographic information.
