| Course objective : | The goal of the course is to show how information management and communication are two important tools in the practitioner toolbox.

| Prerequisites : | None | |||||

| Workshops : | Two hours are used for the explanations needed to start creating a web site on a vet subject. The remaining hours are devoted to the development of the site, with the help of the assistants. | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | Five lectures, of one hour each, are given. A session is then organized in the computers room of the faculty. During this computer session, details are provided about Internet, the faculty network, e-mail, search engines, and html editors. In the second part of the session, students have the possibility to choose a veterinarian oriented subject, to search for information on the subject, and to start to build a web site containing the obtained information. More sessions are organized especially for students facing computers problems. | |||||
| ||||||
| Written notes : | Theoretic notions, along with practical details, are gathered in a web site, continuously available to the students on the faculty intranet. | |||||
| ||||||
| Assessment : | The final evaluation takes place at the end of the first quadrimester. The principle is to provide a web site (on a subject previously agreed upon), and to explain the inner workings of the site. The web site will have been at least partially developed during the practical sessions. | |||||
