== About me ==

I graduated from Glasgow Veterinary School in 1990 and spent 3 years in general veterinary practice in the North of England before moving to the R(D)SVS to study for a PhD in immunology. I subsequently specialised in veterinary pathology and became Director of Veterinary teaching in 2003. I am interested in pathology but also extremely interested in veterinary medical education and education in general. Current interests are assessment and feedback, e-learning and student support/ employability.

== About me ==

I graduated from Glasgow Veterinary School in 1990 and spent 3 years in general veterinary practice in the North of England before moving to the R(D)SVS to study for a PhD in immunology. I subsequently specialised in veterinary pathology and became Director of Veterinary teaching in 2003. I am interested in pathology but also extremely interested in veterinary medical education and education in general. Current interests are assessment and feedback, e-learning and student support/ employability.
'''contact me at: [mailto:susan.rhind@ed.ac.uk susan.rhind@ed.ac.uk]'''

== What I hope to get out of this project ==
This is an exciting time for veterinary education and I hope by exploring the use of web 2.0 technologies we can find out a lot about what it is good for and what it isn't. I also hope that this is the start of something big!

== My best learning experience ==

Probably seeing 'real' disease in the post mortem room and then linking it to what is written in standard texts. It's all about 'making it real'!

== Pathology that interests me ==

All of it really - (apart from bone pathology.....)
General diagnostics and research pathology (infectious disease, nuclear transfer related pathology)

== Pathology that is difficult ==

Bone<br />
CNS<br />
Defining the histogenesis of poorly differentiated tumours<br />
Cases that don't read the textbooks

== People I work with ==

[[Linda Morrison]] <br />
[[Sarah McFarland]]

== Some Links ==

== Reflections ==
==DAY ONE THOUGHTS==

===What (three things) I learnt today===
A bit more about wiki editing, linking etc., that others are equally enthusiastic,

===What I still need to learn===
probably quite a lot - but not sure what yet - about to enter the great unknown......

===How I feel about what has happened today===
see above - tiring, challenging - ready to get started.!

==Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)==

===Sections I've been working on===
* no specific ones - just occasional 'wanderings', the odd image here and there and odd typo correction

===What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project===
* Main thing for me is that the community is alive, kicking and growing!!
*..and that's fun :-)
*

===Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee===
*The usual 'time' problem but what I see here is still so much enthusiasm for the project which is great - the involvement of students has been a revelation!
*The complexities of linking things (ref. the SI/ LI discussion) - OK - i still never got around to playing with the mindmaps!
*Confliscting schemes for categorising things e.g. orla tumours - but this could turn into a 'plus'!

===My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future===
*
*
*

===What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future===

=== This section contains learning theories and links that may be useful to the project ===

'''Common features of Powerful Learning Environments: De Corte (2000), De Corte et al (2003)'''
* group discussions of content & process
* authentic tasks and realistic problems that have personal meaning and future use
* initiate and support active, constructive learning processes
* enhance students’ awareness of their cognitive processes

'''Deep approach to learning: Biggs, Entwistle, Ramsden, Tait & McCune, Marton (1976 – 2006)'''<br />
Starts with an intention to form a personal understanding - plus a range of conceptually related learning processes:
* Active interest and personal engagement
* Thinking for yourself
* Relating ideas
* Gaining an overview
* Questioning and using evidence critically
* Seeking the main point / seeing the purpose or wider context of a task
* Drawing conclusions
* Monitoring understanding and regulating

'''Theories about how people learn'''

'''The [http://slice.utah.edu/2007 SLICE of LIFE] Conference'''
* see the keynote presentation "Principles of E-learning: lessons from cognitive psychology" by Geoff Norman - he talks about Cognitive Overload and how text, image and sound can be less effective than sound and image, and how students presented with two views of wrist anatomy did better than students presented with a rotating 'model' (for example)

Meeting Notes and Action Points

Srhind: /* Wikipath Community of Practice Meeting/ Workshop */

==Wikipath Community of Practice Meeting/ Workshop==
Nottingham Veterinary School
Tuesday 15th January 2007

'''Notes and Actions'''

'''Morning Session'''
KW provided an overview of the background to the project and general educational principles, expectations and history.
Undergraduates and residents given access to wikivet site and opportunity to try some basic editing/ setting up own pages.

'''Afternoon Session'''
Feedback from undergraduates indicating their willingness to be part of the project. - keen to extend the disciplines covered beyond pathology.
Concerns were raised about image permissions -there are ongoing discussions on this but the group has adopted the principle of removing images where there is any doubt about permission.
Interested in collaboration/ contact with students in other schools (those already involved and also encouraging other student to become involved)
They would receive £40/day cash payment.
Referencing of material should be carried out as good practice.
Endocrinology suggested as an area they could begin with. This would be funded by the Nottingham University grant over the summer.

'''Feedback from residents'''
Issue of potential ‘conflict areas’ raised in the earlier part of the day was discussed [example – lymphoma versus lymphosarcoma]. It was recognised that undergraduates often perceive a need to have a black and white source of information and any uncertainty or conflicting opinions was difficult for them. It was pointed put that the wiki needs to be emphasised as a ‘learning tool and not a textbook’ and that students should be aware of the fact that learning outcomes for given subjects would differ across the schools.

The possibility of using text boxes for residents to leave comments in such areas of differing opinions was also raised and supported as a positive input residents could have.
There was a balance needed between something that was excessively rigid at one extreme and at the other something that was unstructured and potentially unmanageable.

The idea of residents contributing by adding cases providing a context around which pathology could be emphasised was supported. RVC already have a graduate contributing in this way and KF would also be a valuable source of input in this area.

It was agreed that a bullet point list of activities that residents could be involved in would be generated. There were 2 clear subdivisions of activity:
#Editing ([[Draft Guidelines]])
#Contributing new information ([[Draft Guidelines]])
A theme emerging was also that in terms of the wikivet community of practice, residents would be key members but also had a need to build communication amongst their own community which in the UK can tend to be isolating as often there may be only 1 or 2 residents at a given University. It was important that they were not ‘slaves to the wiki’ and in essence developed a parallel CoP which was beneficial to them.

'''CONTENT'''
It was agreed that Nottingham would begin with a focus on physiology within systems which the student felt most comfortable.
It was agreed that with this ‘widening of disciplines’, it would be appropriate to change the name of wikipath to wikivet and begin to embed other disciplines in a systems manner. In effect this brings to an end the CoP funded by HEA (wikipath) and moves the project on to the next phase.

The issue of structure was discussed however it was felt that once content was created, the structure could then emerge from this after further discussion. The advantage of the wiki system was that multiple sources of access could be available.

'''FINANCES'''
There was still ~10k available in the JISC project and the remaining £630 for the CoP would be payable on completion of a final report to the HEA.
<br>'''''ACTION:SMR'''''

'''RESEARCH/GRANTS'''
RCVS trust: there was strong support for a cross schools bid to the RCVS trust blue skies for the wikivet project focussing on day one skills. This would:
*allow collaboration/ evolution in terms of the skills list
*facilitate sharing of content – especially video content of core day one skills
<br>'''''ACTION: KW/NS to draft application for deadline of 23rd January'''''

'''COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE'''
Input from those involved in the project will be sought to allow data to continue to gathered around the formation and experiences with the CoP

'''CONFERENCES'''
*AVTRW: abstract for educational session needed by the end of the week. Also need to check that pathology sessions and educational sessions don’t clash.
<br>'''''ACTION: SMR'''''
*AMEE: Agreed to submit abstract for AMEE. TS to be lead author. To discuss detail at next SKYPE call.

'''RCPath'''
GR was involved in an RCPath project looking at development of ‘pathopaedia’ . He would eb meeting with KS to discuss the projects and/ or any potential future funding opportunities.

'''Web address'''
currently wikivet is within the vetschools domain however there was some confusion and potential loss of identity of wikivet within this site. It was decided:
*to try for a dedicated url for wikivet
*in the meantime keep the vetschools url but link it directly to wikivet to ease any confusion.
*to keep the current system for registering to allow an element of control over access.

It was agreed that with this ‘widening of disciplines’, it would be appropriate to change the name of wikipath to wikivet and begin to embed other disciplines in a systems manner. In effect this brings to an end the CoP funded by HEA (wikipath) and moves the project on to the next phase.

The issue of structure was discussed however it was felt that once content was created, the structure could then emerge from this after further discussion. The advantage of the wiki system was that multiple sources of access could be available.

FINANCES
There was still ~10k available in the JISC project and the remaining £630 for the CoP would be payable on completion of a final report to the HEA.
ACTION:SMR

RESEARCH/GRANTS
RCVS trust: there was strong support for a cross schools bid to the RCVS trust blue skies for the wikivet project focussing on day one skills. This would:
a) allow collaboration/ evolution in terms of the skills list
b) facilitate sharing of content – especially video content of core day one skills.

ACTION: KW/NS to draft application for deadline of 23rd January

COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE: input from those involved in the project will be sought to allow data to continue to gathered around the formation and experiences with the CoP

CONFERENCES
AVTRW: abstract for educational session needed by the end of the week. Also need to check that pathology sessions and educational sessions don’t clash.
ACTION: SMR

AMEE: Agreed to submit abstract for AMEE. TS to be lead author. To discuss detail at next SKYPE call.

GR was involved in an RCPath project looking at development of ‘pathopaedia’ . He would eb meeting with KS to discuss the projects and/ or any potential future funding opportunities.

Web address: currently wkivet is within the vetschools domain however there was some confusion and potential loss of identity of wikivet within this site. It was decided:
a) to try for a dedicated url for wikivet
b) in the meantime keep the vetschools url but link it directly to wikivet to ease any confusion.
c) To keep the current system for registering to allow an element of control over access.

The WikiVet Community of Practice was set up in July 2007 following funding from the HEA Centre for Medicine, Veterinary Medicine and Dentistry and from JISC (via the HEA). This wiki was initiated at the first [[workshop]] held on the 31st July 2007.

=== Why we are doing this? ===

The WIKI VET Community of Practice has been established to explore the potential of second generation e-learning technologies building on existing collaborative partnerships between the UK veterinary schools. This new Community of Practice will enable academics and technical experts to work together in new ways on developing and sharing innovative e-learning resources.

This project grew out of existing collaborations between veterinary schools including the CLIVE and vetschools.ac.uk initiatives. Whilst these projects have been successful and widely used, there is now a need for the collaboration to evolve in parallel with the explosion of social networking tools such as wikis and blogs. Three of the schools have already taken the initiative in developing a collaborative wiki in the context of undergraduate and postgraduate Veterinary Pathology. The HEA funding will allow this model to be expanded in a more ambitious way to benefit all the UK veterinary schools.

Veterinary students and academic staff are familiar with e-learning as medium to supplement and complement traditional teaching and learning as part of a blended learning approach. However, with the rapid growth of material on the web, it has become increasingly difficult to find appropriate content which has been peer reviewed. This lack of signposting can result in students and staff wasting time searching for material or even chancing across second rate or incorrect information.

Emerging web technologies (sometimes referred to as Web 2.0) could offer a number of solutions to these problems. Crucially they provide a set of social networking tools which enable communities of practice to work effectively together on line. This will be used in the project to enhance existing face to face meetings and create new ways of working together. Wikis and folksonomies offer new ways for the community to order, index, signpost and rate digital content. This content could be in the form of text written collaboratively by the partner institutions or existing resources such as CAL, video, images, documents and Powerpoint (including some previously generated by the CLIVE and vetschools projects).

On a practical basis the project will utilise this wiki as the central framework for content development. It will adopt and extend the preliminary model already being trialled for the collaborative pathology wiki and extend its scope and user base. This work will be overseen by subject experts and enthusiasts who will employ students to help compile and develop the wiki. Good practice in communities of practice (emerging out of the JISC Emerge CoP project and from experience elsewhere) will be drawn upon for the effective functioning of this community.

The initial project steering group (representing Cambridge, Edinburgh and London veterinary schools as well as the LIVE Centre) currently meets on a virtual basis using Skype as a conference facility. However, occasional face to face meetings are also held for example at the AVRTW Conference or LIVE opening events. The intention is to expand the group to include the other UK veterinary schools (contacts at each of the schools have already been established).

=== Expected outcomes ===

• The establishment of a collaborative community of practice linking the UK vetschools with active and committed partners and full institutional support;

• Inter-institutional collaborative education and research projects based on the use of the Wiki Vet in veterinary education;

• Sharing expertise and good pedagogical practice between partner vetschools on the development and use of new e-learning technologies;

• Regular synchronous electronic discussions between steering group members as well as email lists and occasional face to face meetings;

• Building of cross institutional expertise and understanding of the pedagogy associated with the application of wikis and other web technologies in veterinary education;

• Enrichment of existing teaching resources and improved learning opportunities for students through the use of novel and contemporary web technologies

===Workplan===

Work with veterinary schools to discover what tools are in use and what aspects of CLIVE and VetSchools, supplemented by other technologies, would be the most use to them. The main focus in this phase will be on pathology resources but other areas identified will be logged as target areas for future projects; ''April – May 2007''

* Analyse the tools available to assess where JISC services ‘add value’ and can be integrated meaningfully for staff and students; ''June – Sept 2007''

* Set up wiki and media server at the University of London Computer Centre June 2007

* Host first student wiki authoring workshop ''July 2007''

* Run a wiki showcase presentation for veterinary pathologists ''October 2007''

* Pilot the sharing of pathology wiki content with other veterinary schools ''November 2007''

* Upload Creative Commons veterinary educational resources onto server and provide links to wiki ''August 2007 – April 2008''

* Work with all UK veterinary schools to raise awareness of the resources available including presentations and promotional material ''October 2007 – April 2008''

* Evaluate the value of the resource and document the project for the benefit of the JISC ''April 2007 - April 2008''

Srhind: /* What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project */

Susan Rhind

== About me ==

I graduated from Glasgow Veterinary School in 1990 and spent 3 years in general veterinary practice in the North of England before moving to the R(D)SVS to study for a PhD in immunology. I subsequently specialised in veterinary pathology and became Director of Veterinary teaching in 2003. I am interested in pathology but also extremely interested in veterinary medical education and education in general.
'''contact me at: [mailto:susan.rhind@ed.ac.uk susan.rhind@ed.ac.uk]'''

== What I hope to get out of this project ==
This is an exciting time for veterinary education and I hope by exploring the use of web 2.0 technologies we can find out a lot about what it is good for and what it isn't. I also hope that this is the start of something big!

== My best learning experience ==

Probably seeing 'real' disease in the post mortem room and then linking it to what is written in standard texts. It's all about 'making it real'!

== Pathology that interests me ==

All of it really - (apart from bone pathology.....)
General diagnostics and research pathology (infectious disease, nuclear transfer related pathology)

== Pathology that is difficult ==

Bone<br />
CNS<br />
Defining the histogenesis of poorly differentiated tumours<br />
Cases that don't read the textbooks

== People I work with ==

[[Linda Morrison]] <br />
[[Sarah McFarland]]

== Some Links ==

[http://www.jvmeonline.org JVME]

[http://www.vet.ed.ac.uk R(D)SVS]

== Reflections ==
==DAY ONE THOUGHTS==

===What (three things) I learnt today===
A bit more about wiki editing, linking etc., that others are equally enthusiastic,

===What I still need to learn===
probably quite a lot - but not sure what yet - about to enter the great unknown......

===How I feel about what has happened today===
see above - tiring, challenging - ready to get started.!

==Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)==

===Sections I've been working on===
* no specific ones - just occasional 'wanderings', the odd image here and there and odd typo correction

===What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project===
* Main thing for me is that the community is alive, kicking and growing!!
*..and that's fun :-)
*

===Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee===
*The usual 'time' problem but what I see here is still so much enthusiasm for the project which is great - the involvement of students has been a revelation!
*The complexities of linking things (ref. the SI/ LI discussion) - OK - i still never got around to playing with the mindmaps!
*Confliscting schemes for categorising things e.g. orla tumours - but this could turn into a 'plus'!

===My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future===
*

===What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future===
