About me
I joined the RVC in January 2000 to take over the management of the Electronic Media Unit. I qualified as a vet from Bristol Veterinary School in 1982 but have become increasingly interested in using e-learning to support Teaching and Learning in veterinary education.
What I hope to get out of this project
My main interest is how we can use technology to bring together the experience and knowledge of different veterinary schools. In particular I think it is going to be exciting to see students and professors working side by side with learning technologist....
My best learning experience
Probably watching my daughters growing up using computers as an integral part of their education. It helped me realise the potential of the technology but also its limitations (I hate MSN!).
Pathology that interests me
Pathology never really excited me as a veterinary student - this project is starting to make me realise that I missed out!
Pathology that is difficult
I don't enjoy doing post mortems on cows in the tropics - the heat and flies mean that you have to work fast - and at the end of the whole thing you know you will have to share a fetid steak with everybody......
Day one thoughts
What (three things) I learnt today
How much we all have in common
That wikis are not as simple as I thought
There is lots more to learn!
What I still need to learn
How we work together effectively as an online team...
How I feel about what has happened today
Up and down but came away more enthusiastic than I came in!
