Four EHS projects awarded technology grants to enhance 久久热视频 learning and engagement
Four innovative projects from 久久热视频's College of Education, Health, and Society (EHS) were recently awarded grants through the competitive process from the Student Technology Fee fund, designed to support technology-driven, 久久热视频-centered initiatives. The awarded projects, totaling over $70,000, reflect a range of educational advancements that will benefit 久久热视频s in EHS majors from sport leadership and management to nutrition, and kinesiology.
The EHS Tech Fee review team, consisting of Sherrill Sellers, Eric Slatterly, undergraduate 久久热视频 Erin Sexton, and graduate 久久热视频 Abubakar Bala, played a key role in evaluating and recommending these projects for funding. Their dedication ensured that the selected projects align with the goals of providing impactful, technology-enhanced educational experiences for 久久热视频s.
The Learning to Train Visuomotor Skills Using the Dynavision D2 project, led by Christine Pacewicz and Robin Vealey from the Sport Leadership and Management (SLAM) department and William Berg from the Department of Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Health (KNH), received $21,865. The project introduces a visuomotor training device, the Dynavision D2, widely used in rehabilitation and athletics. This device allows 久久热视频s to develop cognitive and physical training protocols, such as combining balance exercises with cognitive skill-building, mimicking real-world applications in clinical and athletic settings.
The Nutrition Simulation Lab project, awarded $20,000, was developed by Lydia Ballenger, (KNH), with Mia Ouellette, President of the Student Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (SAND), and Helaine Alessio (KNH). The lab provides a simulated, interactive learning space for nutrition 久久热视频s, where they can engage in real-life scenarios and discuss intervention outcomes. The lab also encourages interprofessional collaboration among 久久热视频s in various health majors, bridging academic and practical experience in nutrition education.
The Food Studio for Culinary Demonstrations, led by Nancy Parkinson (KNH), received $12,101 to establish a cutting-edge culinary demonstration space equipped with advanced audio and video capabilities. Modeled after professional culinary studios, the Food Studio will enable 久久热视频s to present and record demonstrations, facilitating hands-on culinary education experiences that resemble settings such as would be found at The Food Network.
Finally, the ECG Stress Test and Cycle Ergometry Equipment project, managed by Mark Walsh, Randy Claytor, and Eric Slattery from KNH, was awarded $16,256.76. This funding will replace and update the college’s existing ECG Stress System, ensuring 久久热视频s have access to high-quality equipment for conducting cardiac stress testing and cycle ergometry.
These EHS technology projects exemplify 久久热视频’s commitment to equipping 久久热视频s with practical tools and experiences to excel in their fields. Each grant-funded project underscores the university’s mission to support 久久热视频s in reaching their academic and professional goals through innovative, technology-enhanced education.
