Project Outcomes
Creation and Dissemination of Interactive Online 3D Anatomy Instruction Modules at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.

2016
Tier Two
Amount of Award:$19,500.00
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.
This musculoskeletal module will provide a resource that our veterinary students and the SUNY community, especially relevant to the colleges offering veterinary technician programs, will be able to access remote from the veterinary college. It will be accessible to the veterinary students throughout their four years of study as they explore more intricate levels of understanding of the musculoskeletal system.

Tier Two
Amount of Award:$19,000.00
Students with disabilities face many challenges that may hinder their ability to receive an equitable opportunity in the classroom. This project is designed to directly address these issues by funding a team of students with disabilities to trial, assess, and collaborate with staff and faculty to explore individual and classroom usefulness of various procured assistive technologies (AT), and to create learning modules that can be shared openly across campus and SUNY system-wide.

Scaling up OER Discovery and Adoption: Building an open digital learning and publishing network across SUNY
Katherine Pitcher
Geneseo
2016
Tier Three
Amount of Award:$35,000.00
There will be three major areas of exploration within this project: 1. Create a faculty course supports team and community of practice for OER adoption and development. 2. Create and develop a digital publishing and learning platform to curate and support this OER content which is openly licensed and may be reused, remixed, and adopted into future courses. 3. Develop a sustainable service and business model for OER content creation, curation, and hosting through Open SUNY Textbooks.
