dc.description.abstractTeaching and Learning through web-based learning platforms is a complementary method of conventional teaching and learning approaches which has the potential to produce meaningful learning experiences. The study of Pharmacology in the Pharmacy Degree of the School of Allied Health Technologies is normally taught face-toface. With this paper we aim to describe an online approach to the teaching of this subject. To develop and assess two elearning modules for the teaching of Pharmacology. Using the MIPO Model for instructional design, Moodle as an LMS, and commercial software, we developed several learning objects that make part of two different modules of Pharmacology. The modules were offered as mandatory training for the third-year students. Knowledge retention was assessed 10 weeks later in a written exam. Two modules and five lessons were developed. Quality assurance was assessed by the Web-Based Learning Environment Questionnaire. Students enrolled in both modules and engaged thoroughly in learning activities and learning contents. All students had a good performance in online quizzes. After 10 weeks, knowledge retention was analysed via a written test. Students were grouped according to their final achievement in the discipline. Students with high and medium achievement grades showed greater knowledge retention than other groups. There was no difference between genders. An online environment was successfully designed and implemented for complementing the teaching of Pharmacology. Knowledge retention does not seem to be associated with shifting the paradigm to online learning, but is probably related to student characteristics or motivations for learning.pt_PT
