| Summary: | Final report from a collaborative project between six Australasian veterinary schools that produce ten virtual four dimensional (4D) farms across different regions of Australasia. This was the first time that this technology was applied in agricultural or veterinary industries. These 4D farms included different farm industries and production methods, and produced innovative learning tools for all Australasian veterinary schools. These 4D environments and tools helped bridge the city and rural divide by allowing a greater understanding of rural production, particularly for city and international students. Irrespective of background and financial status the 4D farm provides students with a rich learning environment to explore. The virtual farms incorporated seasonal changes allowing the development of associated student learning activities for each property and a comparison between properties. Integrated learning activities included concepts such as environmental health and safety, animal production, animal health, and farm management. |
