Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has required identification of pharmaceutical learning content and teaching methods which can support attainment of learning outcomes through online delivery. In silico, or computer based, process simulations are ideal tools for incorporation into online programme elements, however the scaffolding of learning with in silico tools requires a structured approach. A previously developed face-to-face workshop, which used in vitro and in silico dissolution testing, was pivoted to an online learning element using an in-house dissolution simulation programme. The learning element was developed through trial and evaluation of experiences of novice, competent and expert user(s). The delivery of the learning element was planned to address three stages of simulation learning according to the Belton model, with accompanying tools developed to aid scaffolding and assessment of competency milestones. The proposed delivery and assessment is suitable for both synchronous and asynchronous learning, and is suitable for incorporation into an Advanced Pharmaceutics module.
