Faculty of Pharmacy

The project[link]

In the sense of working for innovation, for the improvement and the best organic unity of the tutorial activities and, more in general, in the research into learning strategies most efficient and open to new technologies - the Faculty of Pharmacy has worked out a pilot initiative to experiment the introduction of activities which are integrated into the traditional classroom learning experience and are based upon Web technologies . This initiative, appropriately made by the University Commission for the Planning and Development of Learning, was presented to the Academic Senate and to the University Administrative Council, and it was approved and financed by them. From the perspective of the University, the financing of the initiative has two principal objectives, one for the short term and one for the medium term:  To allow project experimentation in order to optimize the architecture by

means of the evaluation of the results and the identification of possible difficulties;

To define the fundamental aspects of a model exportable to other Faculties.
