Project Outcomes
A Virtual Instrumental Analysis Laboratory (VIAL) for Buffalo State and Open SUNY
Jinseok Heo
Buffalo State College
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier One
Amount of Award:$10,000.00
- Open Educational Resources (OER)
Creation of online modules to support student not yet exposed to advanced analytical instruments for use in advanced chemical analysis, forensic investigation, and materials characterization.
TeachLivE from New York: Developing Innovative Practices in Immersive Teaching Technology
Krista Vince Garland
Buffalo State College
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier One
Amount of Award:$10,000.00
- Augmented Reality
Support of three full day workshops within a virtual classroom to explore a mixed methods research study, and disseminate information from findings to stakeholders. Artifacts from this project will include the development of template curricula to guide other SUNY departments considering the establishment of a TeachLivE simulation lab to support teacher training.
In addition to project outcomes, the website describes the functions and application of the "TeachLivE" simulations in service of teacher preparation.
LOOP: A Project in Creative Instruction for Music Technology [Learn-Operate-Outreach-Perform]

Type of GrantIITG Tier Three
Amount of Award:$50,000.00
LOOP (Learn, Operate, Outreach, Perform) supports creation of a digital/electronic music lab that will support an online masters program.
The project final report describes key learning outcomes. Our first results show that in the early stage of the program, students’ who do not have a conventional musical background, despite having less musical skills, perform better at creating original compositions that fully explore sound, and they are able to relate to concepts borrowed from other art forms. Students coming into the program with a conventional musical background, take considerably longer to achieve comparable results as they tend to be limited by melodic and harmonic formulae they are familiar with.
Math Course Redesign Project
Nicole Adsitt
Cayuga Community College
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier Two
Amount of Award:$18,000.00
Creation of modules to support personalized instruction in mathematics by allowing students to work at a guided self-pace, with a focus on content mastery.
Cayuga College's vision is to create efficient educational pathways for students as they pursue their long term goals.
Impact of a Cloud-Based Program on SLOs in an Online Health Assessment Course
Susan Deane
Delhi, College of Technology
2013
Type of GrantIITG Tier Two
Amount of Award:$19,400.00
Using the ShadowHealth tool, students will interact with a virtual patient in a hospital setting conducting health history and system-based assessments. Student learning outcomes were evaluated through the use of grading rubrics, module summaries, and written transcripts of student activities within the program.
The project demonstrated that positive learning outcomes can be achieved through virtual simulation. Skills and knowledge learned in a virtual environment can be transferred into actual practice and meet the needs of the healthcare community.
