Project
Purpose: Incorporate distance learning technology
equipment into the overall Learning Resources Center
renovation. This equipment will provide for the integration
of technology at all levels of teaching and learning
at the College. Thousands of high school, community
college and four-year university students and teachers
will have access to "The Tour of the Body"
through distance learning media available as a result
of this grant. Finally, the equipment will be used
to deliver continuing education opportunities to practicing
doctors of chiropractic.
Outcomes
Expected: To integrate the technology to all levels
of teaching and learning at the College. In addition,
the distance learning equipment will deliver academically
sound courses and educational support services for
the college's three current constituencies: current
students in Logan's BS in Human Biology and Doctor
of Chiropractic degree programs, high school and college
students interested in science and doctors of chiropractic
who must meet continuing education requirements.
Service
Area: Eastern Missouri and western Illinois, potentially
beyond those areas.
