A core component of Pharmacology Online is a collection of self-study modules. Twelve of the modules cover basic principles of pharmacology. These basic principles are the foundation for understanding drug mechanisms of action, yet it is these very principles with which students struggle with the most. These modules use animations, illustrations, integrated learning activities, and dynamic hyperlinks in concise modules that students can use again and again until you develop this basic understanding. The interactive case studies use true-to-life clinical scenarios to promote "learning by doing" in the safety of a virtual clinical setting. Students see the consequences of both correct and incorrect choices, and they receive remediation for incorrect choices. An online drug handbook is available from within the case studies and self-study modules. The handbook helps to simulate a true-to-life clinical environment in the case studies and serves as a convenient quick reference as students work through the material. Interactive learning activities provide review of critical drug content in game-like activity "engines." UNIQUE! A collection of 16 unique "Roadside Assistance" video clips present core pharmacology concepts and us
