Conclusions
Analyzing the dynamic change of the amount of users we predict 
to have 12.000 pharmacists registered to the system till the end 
of the year 2010.The creators of the platform are going to add 
more e-courses, especially the ones granted with 
hard
 
credits. 
Also, another aim for us is to make the courses more attractive for 
learners by adding multimedia materials like audio and video iles. 
We hope to create interactive lectures during which partici-
pants and a teacher can see and listen to each others in a virtual 
classroom. We plan to systematically add courses from various 
ields of pharmaceutical sciences to give our participants the 
chance to be trained in different areas. 
Last but not least, we always encourage pharmacists to give 
us a feedback about the e-learning platform we administer. It 
helps us to improve it and get know expectations of pharmacists 
involved in a life-long learning process.
