Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create an online video learning resource ('Moo Tube') for the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science at the University of Nottingham, focusing on a student-centered approach.
- A focus group of 12 undergraduate students was consulted to gather opinions, leading to a thematic analysis that identified key strengths of video resources, such as teaching enhancement and accessibility, which were rated highly by students.
- Results showed that video usage increased significantly before examinations and dropped afterward, while suggestions for developing effective veterinary videos included ensuring good sound quality, accessibility, and quality video content.
