E-learning helps save thousands of animals each year - Ian Morgan, 24Dash
Animals are used in teaching Hundreds of thousands of animals are saved each year from use in education thanks to computer simulations created by Professor of e-learning at Edinburgh University, David Dewhurst. The development of his software programs has been funded by the Lord Dowding Fund for the past 20 years as his computer programmes replace the use of animals in university science teaching. Professor Dewhurst said: “LDF is currently helping us develop programmes to enable teachers all over the world to design their own courses using our online tools. The LDF grant is enabling us to produce different language programs and upgrade existing tools. In addition, LDF is funding the promotion of the simulations to spread the word.”
