INFORMATIC AND TECHNOLOGY APPROACHES TO VETERINARY EDUCATION

One educator's perspective on the role of instructional technology in veterinary surgical education

PK Shires

Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA. shirespk@vt.edu

A brief overview of the history of instructional technology (IT) use in veterinary surgery education is followed by an assessment of the state of the art in this discipline in the United States. Comments on assessment of teaching tools and the need for a concerted effort at future assessments are made in light of published information regarding the success of alternative learning methods in education in other disciplines. A few final comments are shared about discipline specific technology demands in surgical education and the issue of copyrights versus sharing resources.
