Lecture/Vortrag
By the use of virtual patients/problems (VPs, multimedia-based case-studies) students and ractitioners should be motivated to learn and research literature on their own as a mixture of constructive and cognitive-instructive element. For this purposes CASUS is used at the Veterinary University of Hannover in different settings:
- 1.
- VPs developed by lecturers. In basic and clinical sciences VPs were offered for voluntary use. The percentage of voluntary use is up to 72%.
- 2.
- VPs developed by peers. The creation of CASUS case-studies was provided as an elective course (peer-to-peer-education). The concluding evaluation indicated a high acceptability and satisfaction with regard to the content, mentoring and the design of the course.
- 3.
- VPs used for continuing edcuation. CASUS case studies were used to train disgnostic and ensure transfer in.
- 4.
- VPs used for e-assessment. First steps were taken with key-feature items to enhance the typical MCQ-exams. As a result of a pedagogical analysis VPs can be valuable part of a mix of methods. It is beneficial to establish cooperations betweenuniversities to exchange VPs and to create a shared database.
