2010 Sciences and Technology Projects
Creation of Support Tools for the Excel Learning Site, The ExSite
This project is to create a support tool for the ExSite, which is a self-learning resource created for students who use Excel. The support tool will include indexing, help files and an online self-test.
Development of a virtual environment for postgraduate student interactions
This is a pilot project for the Blackboard community module. It will develop a suite of resources and provide discussion areas for graduate students who do most of their work far way from the university.
Multimedia Presentation of Molecular Biology Lab Techniques
This project, which is being undertaken jointly with the AV resources unit, will create and contextualise AV resources to give students an insight into both the molecular theory and the practice context of the lab skills they are learning.
Online assessment with feedback for molecular biology
This project will be a pilot of a large class for the new MyeLearning system to be introduced in 2011. We will support the staff to build more quizzes to add to the successful ones created in previous projects
Instructional Videos for Veterinary Surgery Practical Teaching Laboratories
The faculty has created some videos of surgical procedures that need to be contextualised to give students an understanding of the procedures and skills they will need to develop in their practical classes, and also a resource for revision.
Equine Anatomy on line – rethinking the learning modules
This eLearning site will be broken into learning modules and more interactivity will be added.
Multimedia modules for improved teaching of veterinary anatomy. Pilot project: the canine stifle (knee) joint
In this project we will create AV resources from existing videos and other visual resources to improve veterinary students' understanding and application of three-dimensional anatomy and a resource for revision.
Learning resource on equine anaesthesia
This project, which is being undertaken jointly with the AV resources unit, will create and contextualise a video to both prepare students for the experience of anaesthetising a large animal and to provide revision
