Project Outcome Report

Leveraging a highly anticipated Coursera Blockchain Specialization, UB computer science faculty propose piloting a new process to transform Coursera-issued Verified Certificates into a UB Digital Badge, which for some learners, when coupled to their professional background, may lead to academic credit through a prior learning assessment (PLA) process to further a micro-credentialing or degree program effort.

Project Outcome Report

The Academic Sharing Community: A SUNY Catalog of Educational Projects and Innovative Initiatives (ASC SUNY) serves as a repository for campus initiatives, while providing guidance for project development and assessment and ways to network and partner across SUNY to help institutions meet demands of the 21st century.

A consortium of SUNY universities and colleges, led by SUNY Cobleskill, and with the support of the SUNY Office of Global Affairs and the COIL Center, seek to produce the infrastructure to assess and credential competencies that students attain in global learning programs.

Project Outcome Report

Over the life of the project a series of interactive video training tools will be created for students intending to enter a range of medical professions; the tools will focus on improving communication skills (and other soft skills), an essential area where a lack of resources has been identified.

Project Outcome Report

Development of a "Lab Simulation Builder" to allow instructors to create, without any computer programming requirement, a variety of hands-on lab video games that can be controlled by our custom electronic controller that emulate actual lab tool's appearance and operation to improve students' tactile wet-lab skill and STEM learning experience even outside of the lab.

This educational electronic medical record will be used by a group of interprofessional students to work as a patient care team, effectively simulating modern healthcare workflow and communication, and preparing students to succeed in real-world environments.

Project Outcome Report

Expanding Campus-Wide Digital Scholarship Collaboration at Maritime: Building Bridges Across Disciplines for a SUNY-Wide Digital Scholarship Initiative is our title and our overarching goal. Our new Digital Scholarship Lab (DSL) will become the center for DS at Maritime and provide for a SUNY-wide model.

The University at Buffalo (UB) College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with campus partners, proposes to explore Open edX as a traditional and post-traditional education delivery platform to students on a global scale.

Project Outcome Report

Accurately representing common challenges novice teachers face in the urban classroom is a difficult and demanding challenge; the classroom VR environment proposed in this project was developed in collaboration with administrators and teachers from a large urban school district with a large population of minoritized students.

The Open Cyber Arena supports hands-on cybersecurity education and outreach efforts, providing ease of use to instructors and streamlined ease of access to students.

Project Outcome Report

The proposed project is to develop collaborative content for a Micro-Credential (for academic credit) and a Digital Badge (for non-degree students) consisting of stackable modules on the elements of the Pharmacists’ Patient Care Process (PPCP) for use across pharmacy and health education professional and post-graduate programs.

SUNY Maritime College will explore the use of 360 Degree Videos incorporated with Virtual Reality Technology as an experiential learning platform, allowing them to developing a structured methodology to support the learning process created through the use of the 360 Degree Videos which utilizes the incorporation of a structured assessment process to guide the students towards established learning outcomes.

Report Outcome

Based on our previous IITG project, we are further developing and evaluating a shared virtual and augmented reality learning environment called the “SUNY Immersive Augmented Reality Classroom” to enhance and transform the pedagogical impact in multiple disciplines and better support learning objectives taught throughout SUNY.

Project Outcome Report

The Alfred State Micro Credentialing Project employs the NACE competencies for career readiness to promote all aspects of the SUNY Excels performance framework by challenging students to participate in activities, online coursework, and projects that demonstrate their ability to grow and positively impact their academic and professional success.

Project Report

This project will create a system of courses to teach the five new coordination competencies and address the talent gap that currently exists in the Health Care Coordination field throughout New York State and beyond.

TimeStitch (http://timestitch.geneseo.edu/items/browse) is a database that was developed and populated with the help of the IITG Tier 1 Grant. In this next stage we would like to develop the following: 1) crowdsourcing plugin that will help to digitize objects such as antiques that are in the possession of general public to create a 3-dimensional component that will help students in planning virtual and real exhibitions and offer the TimeStitch package to museums as a tool of making their collections available online.

Project Report Outcome

By infusing affordable digital notation technologies into Broome CC’s Music Theory classrooms, this pilot project will: (1) promote creativity, intuitive learning, and accessibility for participating students; (2) help them understand complex concepts faster, and train them to hear different chord qualities, intervals, and instrument timbres; and (3) serve as a model for other community college music programs where technology-based pedagogical solutions are often outpaced by local high schools.

Project Outcome Report

A pilot project in the development of 360-degree educational video, in which the student is immersed in a virtual review of the anatomy of the human body, using an actual cadaver as the demonstration model.

Project Report Outcome

This is an adaptation of Buffalo State's "Ignite Your Everyday Creativity" MOOC that will serve the people of Myanmar (and potentially the Burmese refugees around the world) to support their efforts to solve vexing problems by engaging their creative thinking skills, even when resources are limited.

Project Outcome Report

This study explores the health, campus engagement, academic performance, and culture of collegiate varsity eSports athletes, with the goal of understanding this new and unique population of students for recruitment and retention purposes.

This Open Writing in the Disciplines (WID) Project will build a community of practice at Rockland, Monroe, and Clinton Community Colleges with the Excelsior OWL that will create model faculty training, curriculum development, and assessment, all of which will be openly available in collaboration with SUNY OER Services.

Project Outcome Report

This project will examine CBE as an instructional model to provide workforce development to STEM students, promote inclusion of students with cognitive disabilities in STEM fields, and foster collaborations on CBE projects across SUNY.

The goal of the proposed project is to examine the validity and reliability of a measure to track and assess experiential education activities, which has potential for use by other programs.

Outcome Project Report

The Taking Laboratory Science Home will develop laboratory activities for use in on-line courses that enable learners to plan, gather, collect, analyze and interpret real-world experimental data.

Modular and Student-Driven Learning of Writing (MASLOW) is an online learning platform, built across Blackboard and Edublog, where international graduate students can practice foundational writing skills for developing discipline-specific communication abilities based on exploratory and gamified activities in the context of their orientation to US higher education and professional growth.

Project Outcome Report

This proposal develops augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) demonstration models and stackable micro credential in CAD to enhance and encourage student learning in technical drawing and 3D modeling.

Report Outcome

Students in upper level GIS related courses will be trained on using UAS (drone) technology in STEM and Social Science Disciplines with emphasis on GIS data processing to meet the growing demand of UAS savvy GIS workers.

Project Outcome Report

This project recruits faculty across SUNY campuses to develop a freely-available modular curriculum on food sustainability to be applied in multiple disciplines, and distributed using the Digital Commons of SUNY platform.
