1. Mark B. Ness EDU-681100-01 Learning with Emerging Technology: Theory & Practice Professional Background/Current Professional Needs

2. Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself! My name is Mark Ness I am a full-time instructor at Holy Family University (Philadelphia), teaching in the Radiologic Science Program. I have 20+ yrs. of teaching experience, so for a time, teaching technology included an overhead projector and transparency! 3. My teaching experiences include: Community College Radiologic Technology Program, Clinical Coordinator 3 yr. Hospital-based Radiologic Technology Program Program Director 8.5 yr. College/University Radiologic Science Program Program Director 5 yr. Instructor/full-time faculty 7 yr. (current position) I also serve as moderator for the Holy Familys local chapter of Lambda Nu, National Honor Society for Radiologic and Imaging Sciences. 4. The Radiologic Science Program includes two degree programs: Associate of Science in Radiologic Science (ASRS) Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Science (BSRS), including four tracks: General, Computed Tomography (CT), Mammography (M) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) Vascular Interventional (VI) coming FA14 5. The Radiologic Science Program is part of the School of Nursing and Allied Health Professions Radiologic Science is the only Allied Health program Maximum enrollment between both ASRS and BSRS programs is 75 students Faculty consist of a director, three full- time faculty and four part-time adjuncts 6. I teach in the Associate of Science degree program, and courses I teach as part of my annual academic workload include: Radiographic Imaging I Radiographic Imaging II Advanced Imaging I Imaging Physics I: X-ray Physics Radiation Health Physics Image Evaluation: Radiographs Radiographic Pathology 7. Courses I teach as part of my annual academic workload include: Radiographic Imaging I Radiographic Imaging II Advanced Imaging I Imaging Physics I: X-ray Physics Radiation Health Physics Image Evaluation: Radiographs Radiographic Pathology 8. Holy Familys Energized Laboratory Fully operational x-ray equipment on campus Capability of producing: Computed Radiography (CR) Digital images. 9. CR Images Created in Our Laboratory! Images can be exported from the digital processor/PACS its the technology permits you to leave a hospitals radiology dept. (or ER) with your images on a CD! 10. I enjoy integrating simple-to-use, low- tech technology into my teaching materials that are intended to support concepts and theories, but also serve to extend the students learning beyond a classroom/laboratory environment. 11. I included the next two slides to establish the point that technology need not be sophisticated or high-tech to create a insightful contribution to the learning process. The first slide illustrates the concept that a modern x-ray tube is inserted inside a protective covering called a tube housing. The second slide illustrates a commonly encountered problem (motion) in medical imaging and offers a solution for overcoming motion. 12. How the x-ray tube is inserted inside the housing Modern X-ray Tube & Tube Housing 13. Motion Artifact & Its Correction Motion Artifact Corrected! 14. Over the past ten years, I have attempted to extend my students learning process beyond our classroom/ laboratory contact time. To accomplish this goal I began using a learning manage system (Blackboard) to supplement my traditional face-to-face (FTF)classes. Initially, my goal was to utilize Blackboard to distribute e-lecture materials I had developed, infused with simple technology (animations, prescreened website hyperlinks, etc.) to supplement concepts and theories discussed in textbook reading assignments and lecture discussions. 15. Today, this is my technology 16. Click pict to link And this 17. The digital recording is saved to a server, and I provide students a link to the server via a URL address added to my Blackboard course to view the recording. Recordings are available to students throughout the course 18. As seen in the previous two slides, I request to teach in a SMART classroom, equipped with a Sympodium. The Sympodiums SMART Tools include all interactive whiteboard features. Mediasite/Sonicfoundry software is use to simultaneously record both lecturer and Sympodium display screen in real-time. After class, I obtain a URL providing the link to access the digital recording add post it on Blackboard for student access. 19. My Professional Goal Over the past ten years, I have focused on creating and managing a learning environment that extends my students learning process beyond our classroom contact time. I accomplish this by blending the technology features of a learning management system with traditional face-to-face class pedagogy. 20. My Professional Goal cont. I now manage all my FTF courses on the learning management system platform. All course information is distributed and collected electronically. 21. My Professional Goal cont. I redesigned all my instructional methodologies to include technology- enhanced learning instruction with little understanding regarding how this change in instructional pedagogy could (or would) impact current and future students achievement of established learning outcomes. 22. My Professional Goal cont. Student course/instructor evaluations and one annual peer review evaluation have provided only limited constructive feedback with regard to how well my redesigned instructional methodologies fulfill student learning outcomes in individual courses. I have not, until now, pursued any formal instruction to improve my ability to effectively integrate, manage and assess the effectiveness of achieving student learning outcomes in a technology- enhanced learning environment. 23. My Professional Goal cont. I anticipate the learning experiences I gain by completing MALET program will empower me to refine my web enhanced instructional methodologies in technology enhanced learning environments. Moving on, my goal is to create web enhanced educational courses that combine elements of traditional FTF courses with technology-enhanced features, so that up to 30% of scheduled FTF sessions can effectively replaced by learning activities delivered in a technology- enhanced learning environment. 24. My Professional Goal cont. I can then utilize this knowledge to identify those technology-enhanced methodologies that are most likely to be effective for Radiologic Science instruction and integrate them with my current instructional methodologies to effectively transform at least one of my traditional FTF classes into a web enhanced course.
