Innovation in the CUMC Classroom 2008

Welcome, Frank Moretti, CCNMTL Executive Director

Dr. John Zimmerman, CCNMTL associate director, and Maurice Matiz, CCNMTL vice executive director, introduce the Center's services and projects.

CCNMTL: A Path to Innovation in the Classroom

Video Interactions for Teaching and Learning (VITAL) is a Web-based learning environment that enables students to observe, analyze, and communicate ideas with video. Dr. John Zimmerman and Dr. Dodi Meyer discussed a use-case for teaching cultural competencies using VITAL.

Using Video to Teach Cultural Competencies

CCNMTL and faculty partners developed an interactive pedagogical approach to self-directed lifelong learning that fosters active participation in the learning process using Web-based portfolios.

Using Portfolios to Promote Reflection in the Health Professions

Dr. Patrice Spitalnik discusses issues of computer software replacing microscopes and demonstrates the virtual microscopy solution they implemented in the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

An Application of Virtual Microscopy in Medical Education

Dr. Ryan Kelsey, Mr. Rob Garfield, and Ms. Alice Cox present design strategies and lessons learned from CCNMTL's most robust simulation projects, including the Millennium Village Simulation with Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, and explore the potential to enhance learning through simulations in health sciences education.

Strategies for the Uses of Simulations in Higher Education

Innovation in the CUMC Classroom 2008 was held on Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 at the Armory, located on the Columbia University Medical Center campus. The event featured demonstrations by CCNMTL faculty partners on the use of video, Web-based portfolios, digital simulations, and virtual microscopy.
