The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on how postsecondary education was and is delivered. Educators were forced to rapidly move their instruction online and find new and innovative ways to convey content, stimulate student engagement, and satisfy curricular requirements. The purpose of this article is to describe the use of a Wikipedia writing assignment in Veterinary Bacteriology and Mycology, a second-year course in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) curriculum at the University of Saskatchewan. Students had the opportunity to write and edit incomplete articles on topics related to course content. In addition to deep exploration of a topic, this fostered in students the development of research and communication skills, which have been articulated as core competencies in veterinary programs.
新冠疫情对高等教育的授课方式产生了巨大影响,无论是过去还是现在。教育工作者被迫迅速将教学转移到线上,并寻找新的创新方法来传授知识、激发学生参与度以及满足课程要求。本文旨在描述在萨斯喀彻温大学兽医学博士(DVM)课程的第二年课程“兽医细菌学与真菌学”中使用维基百科写作作业的情况。学生们有机会撰写和编辑与课程内容相关主题的不完整文章。除了对某个主题进行深入探索外,这还培养了学生的研究和沟通能力,而这些能力已被明确为兽医专业课程的核心能力。
