Abstract:
Abstract—The state of education is changing mainly due to developments in the electronic media. SmarTTeaching in Pharmacology at Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU) has been developed to introduce the principle of the flipped classroom to students using electronic lectures and social media platforms. This was done by reducing face to face lecture time, providing downloadable PowerPoint slideshows and worksheets, offering potential test and examination questions on Instagram and introducing applications of basic pharmacology concepts on Twitter. Completed worksheets are photographed with smartphones by students and these are emailed to the lecturer for e-filing. Important to note with this approach is that it can also be completely used for e-learning where students are mostly not in classrooms.
