Initiative Title | Secure Microvideo System for A &P Labs Middletown |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | This is a technology which allows images of specimens being viewed via a microscope to be viewed on a monitor screen allowing multiple viewers to see th same image. It is a powerful teaching technology by which the instructor can review detailed features of a cell or tissue type with a group of students in the same time-frame. In terms of Anatomy and Physiology, cell/tissue structure (Histology) is one of the most challenging areas of instruction as an instructor is hard-pressed to find time to individually review a dozen or more such specimens with 20 students in a typical lab period. This technology by allowing the instructor to review relevant histologic features of a specimen with groups of students should greatly enhance student understanding of the subject material. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Students will continue to struggle with this aspect of Anatomy & Physiology and perform less well in the course. It also contributes to a general sense of frustration which, in-turn, crosses-over th other aspects of the course. |
