Faculty member Dianne Zielinski is teaching General Psychology via Interactive Video Technology (IVT) this semester to Hoosic Valley, Indian Lake, Stillwater, Hancock, Madison and Milford Central Schools.
As part of the course content and to help students get a sense of the campus experience, Dianne asks each high school to visit campus during the semester. Students visit Public Safety to receive their ID cards, take a tour of the campus and grab a bite to eat. Dianne also worked with Professor Bob Matthews to create a presentation on collecting journal articles utilizing the Hudson Valley Community College Library web site.
Students who attended the class on campus were able meet their colleagues face-to-face for the first time instead of seeing them on a television monitor in the Flexible Learning Space computer lab located in the Marvin Library.
Since not all of the high schools could be on campus, Instructional Technologies staff members Eric Kiel and Roger Pinke utilized desktop videoconferencing software to connect to Indian Lake, Madison and Milford Central School’s videoconference classroom. Students at both college and the high school sites were able to see, hear and participate during the presentation.
If you would like to conduct a virtual field trip, conduct meetings or bring a guest speaker from across the world into the classroom via videoconferencing, please contact Eric Kiel of Viking Video Technologies at e.kiel@hvcc.edu or 629-7625.
