Summary

The teaching of veterinary pathology is heavily image dependent, didactically best taught in a highly interactive manner. The "New Curriculum Veterinary Medicine“ now demands an even more active student participation, with at least 20% of their study time devoted to individual study. To meet these needs for undergradute students, and those of advanced students studying for European Board qualifications, we aim to take a significant step further and build on the strengths of the Doit platform to develop a new integrated online elearning platform in veterinary pathology. In addition students of Animal Sciences (ETHZ) will profit from the elearning platform and based on this cooperation a common Master`s programm will be initiated. The platform will have three major areas: lectures accompanying modules, a veterinary pathology trainer for student self study and an expert forum for communication.
