Secure Microvideo System for A &P Labs Middletown



Initiative TitleSecure Microvideo System for A &P Labs Middletown
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, RationaleThis 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 fundedStudents 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.

Prioritization Notes

Level 2 (Business Math Science and Technology, AVP Office)

Should be planned to be part of the department's capital expenditures for the academic year. If that funding stream is not available, this is certainly something that can be funded by a Harriman Grant or perhaps an Innovation Grant. This may also be very attractive fro SUNY Orange Foundation funding.

Level 4 (PBIE Committee)

This initiative could be an efficient time-saver for teaching and understanding of the subject taught - it will enhance students' success and performance in A&P labs by providing the opportunity for an instructor to teach and review findings with group of students. It is essential to find means of saving time in order to provide more teaching time for any successful course. By providing secure microvideo system for A&P labs, the instructor would be able to offer technology that would improve teaching methods, therefore increase students' success in the particular course and all following courses, as well.
