Description: Foundations in Pharmacokinetics is a series of multimedia modules that teach basic but essential pharmacokinetic concepts. The product goal is to effectively cover key content outside the classroom so that valuable class time can be spent in discussion and application. Thus, Foundations in Pharmacokinetics is one component of a blended learning solution combining online multimedia (e.g., graphics, animations, interactive exercises, resources, etc.) and face-to-face instruction (lectures, labs, discussions, group work).
Each of the nine course modules includes practice exercises, a review, a quiz, glossary entries, equation helper entries, and closed captioning synchronized text. The course itself includes a custom graphing tool, scientific calculator, and data collection system to track student behavior in the modules and learning outcomes.
This large-scale project began as a prototype of a single module: Hepatic Clearance, and students began using the first modules in fall 2007.
