Abstract
For scientific and ethical reasons, the humane treatment of laboratory animals is built on the professional competence of all people involved in experimental animal work. This is also laid down in the provisions of the German Animal Welfare Act as well as in the EU legislation (2010/63/EU). In view of this background, “Versuchstierkunde online” was developed as a contribution to the 3R.
The modular built of “Versuchstierkunde online” allows it to be easily adaptable to different study focuses. The platform has been realized in the content management system TYPO3. It offers various options for the management of web-content, user-groups, access restrictions and media-files as well as other data.
Topics are in accordance with the FELASA Category B recommendation for people conducting animal experiments. The content includes, but is not limited to, laboratory rodents. It also contains information about dogs and cats, fish as well as experimental methods to name but a few. Included are videos and picture material together with the theoretical background. The chapter on rodent anatomy offers current picture material, the built in zoom allows highly detailed insights into anatomy without the use of animals. Self-study assessments help to retain and to test new knowledge.
Furthermore, teaching staff has the option to independently add new users and their own content. This can help facilitate the interchangeable use of resources such as SOPs (networking). Teaching content of other institutes can be integrated using SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model), which supports the use of teaching material independent of the location. The exchange of information, SOPs and even methodological failures can contribute to reduce the number of animals used for scientific purposes (Reduction and Refinement).
The idea of an integrated approach to communicate different competencies in experimental animal use, in conjunction with Reduction and Refinement approaches within the same educational framework, can help establish a “Best Practice” in the field of laboratory animal science (continuing) education. The information provided by this project cannot entirely replace the practical use of animals in teaching laboratory animal science but can help to introduce people into working with animals in research. In respect to Refinement this will serve to keep (di)stress of the animals to a minimum. Refinement in itself does not lead to a reduction in animal use but helps to directly improve the conditions in an experiment.
