TI  - Computer-assisted learning lessons in drug disposition and pharmacokinetics.
PG  - 109-23
AB  - A suite of 18 computer-assisted learning (C.A.L.) lessons has been developed in 
      drug disposition covering processes, concepts and techniques, and 
      pharmacokinetics. Development of lesions and implementation (using CDC's PLATO 
      Programmerless Courseware Development authoring language (Advanced Tutorial 
      Model) for delivery on IBM-PC clones (some also using NPL's Microtext on BBC 
      model B microcomputers) and evaluation by questionnaire proceeded in stages. 
      Staff assessed the authoring system and library lessons for their potential 
      usefulness. Students assessed the importance to their own learning of the 
      features that good quality C.A.L. lessons should display. Finally, our lessons 
      were assessed by students for the presence of these features, comparison with 
      other forms of presentation, their teaching performance, and integration into the 
      curriculum. The use of a programmerless authoring language allowed the authors to 
      concentrate on lesson subject content. The students appreciated the ability to go 
      at their own pace and that their active involvement was required. Lessons scored 
      well in relation to private reading and lectures but less well in comparison with 
      practical work and tutorials. Appropriate integration of C.A.L. into the 
      curriculum was found to be important. Evaluation by questionnaire at each stage 
      of development was valuable.
