ABSTRACT
Today’s huge array of information resources, student skill levels, and packed curriculum challenge even an established, course-integrated pharmacy instruction program. Online assignments serve as a way to meet the goal of providing online instruction and evaluating information and computer competencies. This chapter will discuss the evolution of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s (UNC-Chapel Hill) curriculum-integrated instruction for first-year pharmacy students over the past two decades, with an emphasis on the current iteration of online assignments using Blackboard, a course management system. Issues related to planning, presenting, and evaluating instruction, as well as future instructional opportunities, will be covered.
