| − | == About me ==
| |
| − | I'm Alex, a 6th year vet at [http://www.vet.cam.ac.uk Cambridge Vet School] and I am one of the members of the [[Introduction|WikiVet community]]. I'm here today with [[Tim Scase]] who is a pathologist up at Cambridge.

| − | == What I hope to get out of this project ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm here because I think that the [[Main Page|Wiki Vet]] project is a marvelous idea to integrate the pathology content of the vet schools to provide a common source of resources for all vet students, residents, researchers and practicing veterinarians. I hope to be able to build the backbone of a system that will grow and evolve as time goes by and look forwards to creating a new and innovative system of learning.

| − | == My best learning experience ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I learn best when I'm able to put in to practise what I am being tought. My best learning experiences have therefore been on my '''EMS''' where I have been able to perform operations, euthanasias and other wonderfully useful and interesting procedures.

| |
| − | | |
| − | ===...that I dislike ===
| |
| − | I can't say I'm particularly great at [[:Category:Nervous System - Pathology|neuropathology]] and would benefit from additional teaching and resources in this field

| − | ==Day one thoughts==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===What (three things) I learnt today===
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Individuals require differing processes of 'learning' to achieve understanding and competency in a subject.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *An indvidual who is forced to learn using a method that is refractory to their way of thinking will only achieve limited gain from a resource.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *I gained confidence in using the wiki editing style and managing file uploads and pictures.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===What I still need to learn===
| |
| − | | |
| − | As we go along we need to learn to make sure that we don't turn this into a text only site and bring in other methods of displaying information.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===How I feel about what has happened today===
| |
| − | | |
| − | I'm enthused and very eager to get cracking - I wish I had more than the 2 weeks!

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

| |

| |
| − | * [[Viruses]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project===
| |
| − | * Building a site that is going to be of significant benefit to students and interns

| |
| − | | |
| − | ===My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future===
| |
| − | *None really - working pretty well as it is!
| |
| − | *Once all the material is up it might be an idea to go through it all for a week or so and majorly interlink the pages
| |
| − | *Formatting contents pages etc. to have some continuity?
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future===
| |
