Abstract
Instructor workload and workload sources were com- pared between an elective campus-based and web-based pharmacy course. Instructor workload was measured for each pathway by documenting the total time required throughout the semester to teach, maintain and evalu- ate the course. Specific workload items that were measured included: in-class activities, e-mail communications, discussion boards, office vis- its and grading term-papers and examinations. The web-based students (n =16) required a 5.4% increase in total workload for the semester and nearly 28 minutes of additional workload per student compared to cam- pus-based students (n = 25). The majority of workload involved with the web-based course came from receiving and sending e-mail while work- load from the campus-based course primarily came from in-class ac- tivities. Faculty workload was higher in the web-based course versus the campus-based course. Similar studies should be conducted on other courses to determine if these results are generalizable.
