Project Outcomes

This project uses innovative approach in developing an interactive virtual learning community offering students necessary tools and resources to be successful in online courses and accommodating at risk, non-traditional and adult learners.

The proposed project will expand our current efforts to capitalize on SUNY faculty experience to develop OERs in STEM areas, based on the need to increase access to STEM research techniques for students learning at a distance or with other barriers to access, and to introduce STEM topics to engage and on ramp non-traditional and adult learners into STEM programs.

This project continues to expand our current efforts to capitalize on SUNY faculty experience to develop OERs in STEM areas, and to introduce STEM topics to engage and “on ramp” non-traditional and adult learners into STEM programs. As such we created OER objects that were designed to increase access and portability to scientific techniques, while supporting an instructional model that allows for further refinement, development, growth and use across SUNY and beyond. By creating materials that are free to use and remix, we have made course development and student engagement more affordable.

Project Outcome Report

This project will survey the SUNY environment to create a network of those involved in scholarly communication. The goal is to create closer alignment and deeper partnerships for librarians and faculty in pursuing scholarly research, grants and publication.

Outcomes TBD

Through 3D medical illustration and open-access instructional design, we can enhance the educational value and accessibility of our pedagogical approach to a wider community of learners.

The focus of this study will be the analysis of two classes identical in content but differing by mode of delivery: a traditional face to face course and a MOOC.
