Learning at any time - the central learning platform Vetucation makes it possible

Vetucation learning platform - the heart of online teaching

The Vetucation e-learning platform is the central LMS (learning management system) of the Vetmeduni and is the place where lecturers and students meet virtually. Digital learning content is provided here, where students can access it, ask questions and discuss it together.
Vetucation manages many different content types and formats and offers countless functions to make teaching interesting and interactive. From digital “bulletin boards”, images, videos and interactive elements to holding courses in a virtual classroom or providing tools for self-organized student learning: Our learning platform Vetucation is the linchpin of digital teaching at the Vetmeduni.

Digital examinations: secure, sustainable and objective

Digital testing - always one step ahead

Thanks to digital examination systems, countless pages of paper and unclear answer sheets are a thing of the past. Supported by a variety of question types - from classic MC questions to image marking tasks and case studies - computer-based examination platforms allow many different examination scenarios to be mapped.
Standardized question management, several review and feedback processes as well as a continuous evaluation process increase examination quality and fairness for students. For this reason, a large proportion of examinations at the Vetmeduni are held desktop-based in our e-centers. The Vetmeduni uses software to create, administer and conduct digital examinations that provides a reliable examination environment and guarantees legally compliant examinations.We provide technical support for the digital examinations and the software behind them, in close cooperation with the Examinations Department, which ensures smooth examination administration.

No matter where you are - you can always join in live via web conference

Web conferencing as a tool for location-independent learning

Location-independent learning is a requirement of our time. Regardless of whether students are currently in Vienna or Tyrol - thanks to distance learning via web conferencing, they can attend key courses virtually. The live-streaming of lectures in audio and video to students' homes, including feedback and discussion options, has quickly become the standard, but places high demands on the technology and workflows in the background. We maintain the necessary platform (Collaborate), manage the data flow for recordings and provide the helpdesk for all users.

Creating virtual medical histories with real media - that's Casus

Casus - the software for case-based learning

Creating virtual but realistic clinical cases and case histories is the domain of the Casus multimedia learning and authoring system. It enables problem-oriented practice and learning based on selected clinical, interdisciplinary cases. Teachers can anticipate certain pitfalls, incorporate them playfully, and comment on incorrect answers. Texts, (X-ray) images, videos and inserted diagnostic findings enable a realistic presentation. Students in higher semesters can create cases for younger colleagues. Casus can be integrated into classroom teaching, but is also an ideal tool for (guided) self-study.

Poll Everywhere: Giving feedback via smartphone brings momentum to every course

Poll Everywhere - the mobile app for interactive lectures

Poll Everywhere is an audience response system (also known as a student response system) that enables teachers to obtain feedback from students in real time during a course. Participants can connect to the system via smartphone, tablet or laptop and use it to answer questions about the subject matter, provide feedback or ask questions themselves. Through interactive surveys, quizzes and polls, this tool encourages active participation and motivation among students.
