Abstract

The rapid expansion of information super-highway through internet with the sophistication of computer science and its application has made tele-education in cyberspace possible. In korea, the environment for communicating information has significantly improved due to the government's strong drive to form an informationized society. The Drug Information Research Institute at Sookmyung Women's Unversity is leading the development of information database for drugs and pharmacy education, and is producing the user-friendly multimedia phamacotherapy database which can be utilized as a tool for tele-education by the phamacists who live at distance sites. All the contents were written by pharamcotherapy specialists and transmitted to the institute through internet e-mail system. The contents were then combined with multimedia data which was created in the institute by using various computer hardware and software. The searching engine was loaded after modifying the commercially available one. The database includes full-texts, various images, and audio/video files, which can be viewed on the internet browsers anywhere from the world at any time. The system will be used as tele-education module for pharmaceutical care specialist program at the Graduate School of Clinical Pharmacy.
