Project Outcomes

Pilot use of the first digital field-mapping evaluation, comparing available tablet computers and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in side-by-side field tests, to train students to produce new 1:24000-scale geologic maps of New York State (NYS) to investigate potential horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.

Compared Google Nexus and iPad for geological field use, as well as a number of Apps. Outcomes indicate common challenges and student preference depending upon tool used.

Design, implement, evaluate, and disseminate an innovative and replicable training model of integrating visual communication tools for teacher candidates at SUNY Oswego, including a training approach to better prepare technology integration across curriculum.

A large output of student portfolio examples, data, publications and press articles are available.

Development of a template to support interdisciplinary 'alternate reality' simulations that are collectively played by students using the Web. These simulations ask participants to analyze a fictional problem based on real-life situations, articulate a variety of possible responses to it, and examine the question of what form action should be taken.

Developed games to investigate issues such as Islamaphobia and hydrofracking.

Project Outcome Report

Development of case study modules that simulate real-world situations and place the student in a decision-making role that requires the use of scientific data and knowledge. The prototype will facilitate learning theories and concepts related to energy and engineering related to a regional power grid.

Developed a Community "Smart Grid" exercise to simulate various environmental conditions impacting the power grid.

Project Outcome Report

Evaluation of open source Class-X lecture capture software with inexpensive consumer grade equipment. Enables the viewer pan and zoom control over the image that is displayed.

Several courses were captured and distributed using Class-X process. Outcomes, examples, publication and report are available.
