LEARNREPRO consists of three computer software packages that were developed to improve dairy reproductive problem-solving skills by college students, professionals, and farmers. Tutorial, drill and practice, and simulation approaches are utilized. The module REPRO-MEASURES covers six common DHI measures of herd reproductive performance. The USE-OF-RECORDS module integrates information from the previous module while presenting additional problem-solving strategies needed to analyze DHI reproductive records. The ESTRUS-DETECTION module addresses effective estrus detection strategies. User surveys have demonstrated the need for more use of this instructional approach. Educators are encouraged to use these modules and also to develop additional computer teaching programs to facilitate the development of problem-solving skills.
