To develop a searchable database of educational technologies used at schools and colleges of pharmacy.
A cross-sectional survey design was used to determine what educational technologies were being used and to identify an individual at each institution who could serve as an information resource for peer-to-peer questions.
Eighty-nine survey instruments were returned for a response rate of 75.4%. The resulting data illustrated the almost ubiquitous presence of educational technology. The most frequently used technology was course management systems and the least frequently used technology was microblogging.
Educational technology use is trending toward fee-based products for enterprise-level applications and free, open-source products for collaboration and presentation. Educational technology is allowing educators to restructure classroom time for something other than simple transmission of factual information and to adopt an evidence-based approach to instructional innovation and reform.
开发一个可搜索的学校和药学院使用的教育技术数据库。
采用横断面调查设计，确定正在使用哪些教育技术，并确定每个机构中的一个人，作为同行间问题的信息资源。
共收回 89 份调查问卷，回复率为 75.4%。所得数据说明了教育技术的普遍存在。最常用的技术是课程管理系统，而最不常用的技术是微博客。
教育技术的使用趋势是针对企业级应用的付费产品，以及用于协作和演示的免费开源产品。教育技术使教育工作者能够重新安排课堂时间，而不仅仅是简单地传授事实信息，并采用基于证据的方法进行教学创新和改革。
