With the spread of COVID-19 from 2020, education has reached a major turning point. In pharmacy education, the implementation of face-to-face classes was greatly restricted. Many pharmacy faculty members were forced to implement unfamiliar online teaching methods. Therefore, pharmacy faculty members were forced to make their own efforts in the absence of any know-how at all. Within FY2020, educational associations set up a forum for sharing information on the implementation of online education. However, most of them were reports of success stories and construction examples, and there were limited opportunities to share small unintentional failures and mistakes (missteps). Therefore, the author conducted a survey of pharmacy faculty members regarding “mistakes” in online education and their countermeasures. As a result, we received reports from nine faculty members on their experiences. This paper reviews the “mistakes” in online education by presenting the experiences of the nine teachers. We hope that they will be utilized in future education and help to advance the PDCA cycle to practice high-quality education by continuing to implement the good points and improving the points that need improvement.
