This paper outlines the pedagogical and practical reasons for developing two interactive online pathology modules for use by third-year undergraduates in veterinary medicine at the University of Glasgow: namely, to further students' understanding of general and systems pathology, as well as their acquisition of key professional skills, and to provide access to a core-elective system of education and to subsequent employment and lifelong learning.
