“…Of pedagogic approaches, digital education is a common topic within the higher education sector (38)(39)(40)(41)(42) and industry environments (43)(44)(45). This may seem surprising initially, as digital education is often synonymous with "distance learning, " and distance learning presents a challenge for the teaching of practical skills (46).…”

Animal welfare science features interdisciplinary and collaborative working across fields, spanning behavioural ecology, psychology, veterinary sciences, economics, and fundamental biology. However, education research is not yet prevalent within the animal welfare literature. In a Web of Science topic search there were 188 papers which specifically discussed or explored how to teach animal welfare from 1978 to 2017. Of these, only 34% (n = 61) specifically focused on instructional design or pedagogical research, and these were predominantly within veterinary education (57%). Despite this, the literature is in broad agreement that animal welfare education is an important topic that should be done well. Within the UK, there were a possible 586 animal-related courses within Universities College Admissions Service database for potential students to choose from, highlighting the significance of robust and considered educational practice. The current gaps identified in the literature were discussion of hidden curriculums outside of veterinary degrees, animal-centered education, the blueprinting of assessment, and authentic assessment. Therefore, this review proposes that animal welfare scientists interested in education consider discipline based educational research (DBER) practices, and engage more fully with the educational research literature. A key component of DBER is the recognition that specialist knowledge needs to be taught by specialists, and so it is important that animal welfare scientists begin to access educational research too.

“…Some of the studies around digital education and animal welfare have explored whether this results in a more theoretical and less applied understanding of animal welfare. For example, Klupiec (40) found that veterinary students often "missed" the practical application of work when working solely from e-learning resources about animal handling. However, the rise of digital education papers does not appear to be from a belief that digital spaces are particularly well-suited for teaching animal welfare, but because the demand is so high, and time often in short supply.…”

“…2 The videos featured a variety of procedures used in handling sheep, cattle, pigs, horses and poultry, taking into account behaviour, welfare and occupational health and safety aspects. A survey on the usefulness of this new learning resource was conducted with students representing all academic years of veterinary and animal science degrees.…”

“…To complement student learning of livestock handling procedures, a series of short videos was developed at the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney and offered online to students to use on a voluntary basis. 2 The videos featured a variety of procedures used in handling sheep, cattle, pigs, horses and poultry, taking into account behaviour, welfare and occupational health and safety aspects. A survey on the usefulness of this new learning resource was conducted with students representing all academic years of veterinary and animal science degrees.…”
