Chula Presents App That Promotes Self-Learning for Canine Anatomy

30 May 2023

A lecturer of Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Veterinary Science has developed the Gami+ “ARGBL” app that offers a new way of learning the anatomy of a canine head through a virtual reality game on one’s phone.

In the New Normal, the app promotes a form of self-learning and has earned international recognition in the Best Innovation Award at a competition in Romania.

Advances in digital technology have opened up a whole new world of learning – anywhere, any time, and most importantly it’s an entertaining way to learn with applications such as “ARGBL Canine Head” developed by Assistant Professor Pawana Chuesiri of the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University.

“Nowadays, there have been adjustments so that a lot of learning takes place online. What we have found is that some of the subjects we teach are packed with information making it hard for the students to absorb them all in a limited time. More importantly, during the recent pandemic, students weren’t able to attend classes on-site and couldn’t practice their skills of dissecting large animals like dogs to study their internal anatomical structures. Therefore, we came up with a way for students to learn these topics by themselves, from home,” Pawana explained how the app came into being in 2022.
