Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of technology adoption and application within colleges and schools of pharmacy. The project was an exploratory study using a 25-question online survey delivered to a convenience sample of representatives from each of 97 schools and colleges of pharmacy in the United States. Forty-four online surveys were completed from the 90 individuals contacted yielding a 48.9% response rate. Based on the findings of this study it can be concluded that technology adoption of various kinds is taking place within colleges and schools of pharmacy and the most significant reasons driving that change were increased student technological literacy and enhancing student learning. Finally, the occurrence of online activities within schools and colleges of pharmacy was found to be more common for the more static types of online activities (PowerPoint slides, notes, syllabi) and faculty development initiatives were consistent with the common online activities identified.
