About me
I'm Alex, a 6th year vet at Cambridge Vet School and I am one of the members of the WikiVet community. I'm here today with Tim Scase who is a pathologist up at Cambridge. His work can be found here.
What I hope to get out of this project
I'm here because I think that the 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.
Pathology...
...that I like
I'm interested in most aspects of pathology and appreciate cardiopathology the most.
...that I dislike
I can't say I'm particularly great at 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)
Sections I've been working on
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
- I feel quite Wikicompetent!
- Being part of a team and watching the site grow because of the group effort.
Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee
- No problems as yet I've not been able to resolve
- May need to adopt a better naming system for pages as some are quite vague and may need to be refined
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
- Continue to imput suggestions for learning environments
- Flashcard and other tools updating
- Advancing to a clinical side of wikivet and implementing more concept mapping for these sections
