Distance Learning

The College of Pharmacy Media Support Office provides educational technology support to faculty, staff and students involved with distance learning activities. We support the traditional entry-level PharmD program, the non-traditional Working Professional PharmD (WPPD) program and certain Continuing Education programs.

Additional training materials, media production examples and related tutorials for faculty and staff are available within the “Admin and Training” site within the E-Learning System. Please contact us at mediahelp@cop.ufl.edu if you need help logging into this site.

The College of Pharmacy Media Support Office staff provide the following services:

• Media Production
  Staff assist faculty with recording and creating instructional materials for web-based delivery including animations and computer-created presentations.
