What technology is being used?

Second year MPharm students are currently trialling a Social Media App called ‘Study-Space’ that has been developed in the department of Pharmacy and Pharmacology as part of an Alumni Fund project. Designed to complement a programme unit, it provides a collaborative environment to help students learn from each other.

The current small-scale trial started in February and is restricted to undergraduates studying PA20024, and a handful of teaching staff. The app is being actively used with two or three posts daily. 57% of the cohort have joined the forum so far, the vast majority of posts have been done anonymously.

The app is available for iOS, Android and in web browsers
