Popis: We established a network meeting system program and used it to review a prior pharmaceutical practice training session. Pharmacists at Tokai University Hachioji Hospital gave lectures about dispensing and other tasks performed by clinical pharmacists to third-year undergraduate students at Tokyo University of Pharmacy and Life Sciences. After the lectures, discussions were held using the network meeting system, after which a questionnaire was completed by the students. The questionnaire was answered by 530 students, of whom approximately 90% expressed interest in the program, 80% noted approval of the media used in the system, and 94% thought that the program was useful. Thus, we concluded that the students were motivated by the program to remember what they had learned in the lectures. We also found that the quality of data communication had an effect on the interests and motivation of the students. Based on their evaluation of the media, it was considered that improvements in communication regarding the system were necessary, though the evaluation of the utility of the program was not influenced by the quality of data communication. As a result, we concluded that our network meeting system program was useful to review prior learning of pharmaceutical practice.
