Case-based e-learning effectively teaches equine orthopedic radiology, showing no significant difference in student knowledge compared to traditional tutorials. Students reported positive attitudes towards the e-learning tool.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Medical Education
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Equine orthopedics requires specialized radiographic interpretation skills.
  • Traditional teaching methods may be enhanced by digital tools.
  • Case-based e-learning offers a potential alternative for veterinary education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of case-based e-learning versus structured tutorials for teaching equine digital radiography interpretation.
  • To assess veterinary students' attitudes towards these two educational interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial involving 96 fourth-year veterinary students.
  • Intervention groups received either a structured tutorial or case-based e-learning.
  • Knowledge assessed via multiple-choice examination; attitudes evaluated using surveys and rating scales.

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in student achievement on knowledge-based tests between the two groups.
  • Students reported positive attitudes towards the case-based e-learning tool.
  • A discrepancy was noted between objective performance and subjective student self-assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Case-based e-learning is a viable method for teaching veterinary radiology in equine orthopedics.
  • E-learning tools can foster positive student attitudes in medical education.
  • Subjective student feedback may differ from objective performance measures.
