Many of the eLearning options available have limitations which can lead to frustrations. These limitations include:

• difficulty reading and learning from the screen
• inability to make notes and highlight points of interest on screen
• ability to take tests/exam numerous times until achieving a pass mark
• lack of tangible documentation at end of course

By including the option of a hard copy manual, PharmaSchool Flexible Online Learning addresses these issues by basing each module around 2 key elements, the Course Manual and the Learning Management Centre. The Course Manual provides written information and instructions for the module. This is supplemented by the Learning Management Centre which provides online self assessment exercises, essential links, online dictionary and a question and answer forum. In order to receive a certificate for the module an online examination is taken at the end of the module.
