“…Among ICT tools, mobile based applications are gaining a huge popularity now-a-days, because of their easy access and faster dissemination of information. Kasch et al, (2016) in a study reported that veterinary students and the next generation of veterinary practitioners are using mobile devices to a great extent and suggested that new information tools through mobile devices may help veterinarians to seek and share information. To promote commercial pig farming and also to enrich the veterinarians, a mobile app 'pig master' was developed based on the information needs of field veterinarians of Andhra Pradesh and the effectiveness of mobile app was studied.…”

his study presents the perceived characteristics of pig master, a mobile app developed as a Continuing Veterinary Education (CVE) tool for veterinarians. The CVE programmes are being taken up by various institutions in India and it was observed that many of the field veterinarians are not able to attend the regular CVE programmes for obvious reasons, for whom ICT tools like mobile devices can be useful. In this context, veterinarians’ perception of the mobile application on pig farming developed after the need assessment was assessed. The study was carried out with the veterinarians of the State Department of Animal Husbandry (SDAH), Andhra Pradesh. A sample of 91 field veterinarians was studied to whom Android Package on pig farming and questionnaires were sent. The ‘pig master’ mobile application was found to have good visual quality, more credible, effective in arousal of curiosity and was with high information coverage along with user-friendliness. Moreover, the app was also found with remarkable utility and helpful in decision-making as expressed by the majority of the field veterinarians. This study emphasizes the need of making CVE programmes effective by using digital media towards enrichment of knowledge of veterinarians.

“…Contemporarily, the introduction of cutting-edge technologies, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, computers, wearable devices, and faster internet access, has also revolutionized the field of veterinary science and veterinary education [15,16]. This has resulted in an expansion of electronic device usage in educational settings altogether, with an augmentation of online resources accessed by veterinary students [3,17,18]. The global spread of COVID-19 has accelerated the integration of digital devices and online resources in veterinary medical education [19][20][21][22].…”

Are Veterinary Students Using Technologies and Online Learning Resources for Didactic Training? A Mini-Meta Analysis

et al. 2022

Over the last years, there has been an increase in online educational resources and media device use for educational purposes in veterinary settings. However, an overall analysis of these studies providing measurements of the use of learning resources and media devices could be particularly useful for veterinary teachers. The evolution of technology, coupled with the advent of pandemic-related restrictions in person lessons, has made it imperative that educators consider how students may access educational material, as well as what type of educational material may be available to them. Databases including PubMed, Scopus, CAB Abstracts, and Web of Sciences were searched for relevant studies from January 2012 to June 2022. A mini-meta-analysis for proportions was performed using RStudio. Results highlight a high use of portable media devices with differences among countries, continued good use of traditional textbooks, moderate use of online tools, and low use of research papers. The results suggest that despite living in a technologically advanced world, veterinary students have attitudes towards digital resources that cannot be assumed.
