Treffer: Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Web-Based E-Learning App for PharmD Students' Internship.

Background: Increasing the knowledge of PharmD students in the skills of reading prescriptions, getting familiar with drug names, scientific evaluation of prescriptions, and providing drug recommendations are the goals of the pharmacy internship. The use of E-learning can be effective in increasing the skills of PharmD during the internship period. Objective: Development of a web-based e-learning app for PharmD students' internship course. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in three stages. First, the system was designed based on the pharmacy faculty members and medical informatics perspectives. Second, a drug database was formed and the information on 2000 prescriptions was entered into the system. Third, the user management dashboard was implemented. Finally, the effectiveness of the application was evaluated using the final exam. The programming language of c#, Jquery, and HTML5 was used to develop this app. Programming was done in Visual Studio 2022 environment. The database was managed by Microsoft SQL Server 2018 software. Results: The outcome of this study is an E-learning app for PharmD students. The usability features such as the interactive user interface and informative feedback to the student were kept into account. Students' activities are recorded for learning analytics purposes. Using the Bootstrap framework made it possible to have a responsive and mobile-first app. This app is web-based, so users with different operating systems (Windows, Android, and Mac) can use it. The evaluation resulted that academic performance was significantly improved. Conclusion: Using this app can be effective as a blended learning tool in enhancing PharmD skills.
