At Northeast State’s Wayne G. Basler Library, new touch screen computers brings tutoring sessions straight to students via digital images flying through the air and onto their device screens.
Two new 86” interactive touchscreen computers share Anatomy and Physiology subject matter with students attending the tutoring sessions both in person and virtually. The interactive touch screen computer functions as a teaching tool and video communications platform for tutors and students.
“Students can remotely attend Anatomy and Physiology study groups if they can’t attend in person,” said Chris Demas, dean of Wayne G. Basler Library. “We are moving to adding more interactive displays to enhance overall learning.”
Demas and Brandon Burleson set up the new interactive information stations earlier this month. The audio/video streaming capabilities went live shortly thereafter. Demas said the setup sought to make the services user-friendly to all students taking advantage of the option.
Students can stream the Friday morning sessions to their personal devices. The library acquired the new screens to help tutoring staff. The screens were purchased with funds from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) awarded to the college.
The Newline interactive screens use videoconferencing software and a two-way whiteboard to unite on-ground and online learning. This technology brings the tutoring session’s content into a virtual setting for students.
The Anatomy & Physiology tutoring lab sets off every Friday morning on the third floor of Wayne G. Basler Library. Faculty members from the Science Division join student tutors explaining bones, muscles, and cell structures. Anatomy and Physiology I and II along with Introduction to Microbiology serve as core requirement courses for the Division of Health Profession programs.
“We hope to expand the Library’s bandwidth in the future to accommodate more virtual study opportunities,” he said.
