Abstract: Objective To develop a self-learning software for laboratory animal science based on the technology of computer assisted learning. Methods The framework of the software was designed on the basis of animal category, meanwhile, all the points in laboratory animal science were organized through two classes of subjects, then,different kinds of information were matched and integrate into the program by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft.NET Framework 4.0 and C#. Results The whole software includes an entrance with the function of selecting animal and some learning interfaces offering information about the first or second subjects, all these were established on the relationship between database and process of the program. Conclusion The self-learning system for Laboratory Animal Science developed in this study is expected to be a practical tool in self-teaching, self-training and searching information, it also provide a primary computer assisted learning environment for Laboratory Animal Science.
