OBJECTIVES
To identify mobile computing initiatives within pharmacy education, including how devices are obtained, supported, and utilized within the curriculum.
METHODS
An 18-item questionnaire was developed and delivered to academic affairs deans (or closest equivalent) of 98 colleges and schools of pharmacy.
RESULTS
Fifty-four colleges and schools completed the questionnaire for a 55% completion rate. Thirteen of those schools have implemented mobile computing requirements for students. Twenty schools reported they were likely to formally consider implementing a mobile computing initiative within 5 years.
CONCLUSIONS
Numerous models of mobile computing initiatives exist in terms of device obtainment, technical support, infrastructure, and utilization within the curriculum. Responders identified flexibility in teaching and learning as the most positive aspect of the initiatives and computer-aided distraction as the most negative, Numerous factors should be taken into consideration when deciding if and how a mobile computing requirement should be implemented.
目的
确定药学教育中的移动计算举措，包括课程中如何获取、支持和使用设备。
方法
编制了一份包含18个条目的问卷，并发送给98所药学院校的学术事务院长（或最相近的职位）。
结果
54所院校完成了问卷，完成率为55%。其中13所学校对学生实施了移动计算要求。20所学校报告称，他们可能会在5年内正式考虑实施移动计算举措。
结论
在设备获取、技术支持、基础设施以及课程中的使用方面，存在多种移动计算举措模式。受访者认为教学灵活性是这些举措最积极的方面，而计算机辅助干扰是最消极的方面。在决定是否以及如何实施移动计算要求时，应考虑众多因素。
