Verayuth Lertnattee, Sinthop Chomya, and Virach Sornlertlamvanich

Abstract— With the increasing popularity of using herbal medicine, healthcare practitioners, including pharmacists, need knowledge of herbal medicine. To serve the need, a set of courses on herbal medicine is arranged for pharmacy students. However, it is hard for a student to familiar with several medicinal herbs with a limitation of time. In this paper, the KUIHerbRx, a Web-based supplement learning tool on herbal medicine, is introduced. The KUIHerbRx supports a collaborative learning to improve knowledge and skill in herbal medicine with a scientific method. Activities of collecting, contributing new opinions, vote to existing opinions, and providing useful information to the system, enhance skill in herbal medicine. With the assessment, the results show that this tool is useful for active and collaborative learning.

Index Terms— Collaborative learning, herbal medicine, KUIHerb, Web 2.0.
