Get Ready to Dissect: using a mobile learning application to improve students’ factual veterinary anatomy knowledge.

Research output: Contribution to conferencePosterAcademic

Abstract

A solid knowledge in anatomy is fundamental for veterinarians. Students at the faculty of veterinary medicine in Utrecht have limited opportunity to perform cadaveric dissection on donated animals to foster deep learning. Unfortunately, students struggle to acquire the necessary factual anatomy
knowledge prior to the dissection classes to fully utilise the learning opportunities. To support students, a mobile learning application (UMCGAnatomyGym) was introduced. A survey was conducted prior to class to evaluate perceived competence, perceived choice/usefulness/usability of
the app and knowledge level. Preliminary results suggest a relationship between app usage and performance on the knowledge test. Further analysis is ongoing.
