Development and evaluation of computer-based tutorials in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry

From: American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education | Date: April 1, 1998| Author: | Copyright information

During the past two years, computer-based tutorials were developed and evaluated as instructional tools in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry courses. The tutorials, which review and encourage application of key concepts within these subject areas, were developed using the authoring software program ToolBook. The tutorials are tailored to the instructor's courses and allow students to work at their own pace. Unlike traditional study resources (i.e., textbooks and lecture notes), these computer tutorials contain embedded questions which allow students to actively apply concepts to novel ...
