Empowering Students Through E-Learning Initiatives at Royal Veterinary College

This initiative at the Royal Veterinary College encourages students to engage with e-learning technologies, fostering a collaborative environment where their voices are heard. With students expressing confidence in their tech skills and active participation through feedback, podcasting, and wiki contributions, the program aims to adapt traditional teaching methods to meet modern needs. By focusing on sharing ownership and building community, the initiative not only embraces student creativity but also enhances faculty-student collaboration, paving the way for innovative educational practices.
