To evaluate and compare pharmacists' satisfaction with the content and learning environment of a continuing education program series offered as either synchronous or asynchronous webinars.
An 8-lecture series of online presentations on the topic of new drug therapies was offered to pharmacists in synchronous and asynchronous webinar formats. Participants completed a 50-question online survey at the end of the program series to evaluate their perceptions of the distance learning experience.
Eighty-two participants completed the survey instrument (41 participants from the live webinar series and 41 participants from the asynchronous webinar series.) Responses indicated that while both groups were satisfied with the program content, the asynchronous group showed greater satisfaction with many aspects of the learning environment.
The synchronous and asynchronous webinar participants responded positively regarding the quality of the programming and the method of delivery, but asynchronous participants rated their experience more positively overall.
评估并比较药剂师对以同步或异步网络研讨会形式提供的继续教育课程系列的内容及学习环境的满意度。
以同步和异步网络研讨会形式向药剂师提供了一个关于新药疗法主题的8讲在线讲座系列。参与者在课程系列结束时完成了一项50道题的在线调查,以评估他们对远程学习体验的看法。
82名参与者完成了调查问卷(41名来自实时网络研讨会系列,41名来自异步网络研讨会系列)。回复表明,虽然两组都对课程内容满意,但异步组对学习环境的许多方面表现出更高的满意度。
同步和异步网络研讨会的参与者对课程质量和授课方式给予了积极反馈,但异步参与者对他们的整体体验评价更高。
