Organization of e-learning resources in a teaching app

Abstract

We have developed a teaching app, which collects and organizes e-learning modules consisting of text, pictures, sound, video clips and quizzes. The goal has been to create an e-learning tool that fosters student active learning and at the same time copes with increased student class sizes and unchanged teacher density. The specific application “e-ZFapp” uses zebrafish as a model organism in research and teaching. The app has been tested on NMBU’s veterinary students since 2016 and has given good results. By organizing teaching in an app, it has been possible to practice flipped laboratory course teaching. Students use the app for preparation, as a tool during the course and for repetition.
