To evaluate the overall effectiveness of a human anatomy course taught to distance-based and campus-based pharmacy students.
A retrospective analysis of students' grades and course evaluations from 2003 through 2006 was conducted.
No significant differences in student performance by pathway were found for the 2003-2005 academic years (p > 0.05). However, distance-based students' percentage and letter grades were significantly higher in 2006 (p = 0.013 and p = 0.004 respectively). Comparison of course and instructor evaluations showed that students in the distance course held similar or more positive perceptions of the course than their campus peers.
Similar performance by campus and distance students enrolled in a human anatomy suggests that a distance-based course can be used successfully to teach human anatomy to pharmacy students.
评估向远程学习和在校学习的药学专业学生讲授人体解剖学课程的总体效果。
对2003年至2006年学生成绩和课程评估进行回顾性分析。
2003 - 2005学年,不同学习途径的学生成绩无显著差异(p > 0.05)。然而,2006年远程学习学生的百分比成绩和字母等级显著更高(分别为p = 0.013和p = 0.004)。课程和教师评估的比较表明,远程课程的学生对课程的看法与在校同龄人相似或更积极。
参加人体解剖学课程的在校学生和远程学习学生表现相似,这表明基于远程的课程可成功用于向药学专业学生讲授人体解剖学。
