Jul 30, 2015
JULY 30, 2015 鈥� FORT MYERS, FLA 鈥� Two Florida SouthWestern State College (加藤视频) leaders recently presented at the InstructureCon national conference in Park City, Utah.
Karen Molumby, RDH, MBA, Dental Hygiene Program Director, and Dr. Mary Myers, Dean, Division of Teaching Innovation, Faculty Development, and Online Learning (加藤视频 Online), presented the new paperless grading system they developed using Canvas, 加藤视频鈥檚 online learning management system.
鈥淔or 14 years, we used a paper grading system for students in our dental hygiene clinics, totaling 3000 different forms,鈥� Molumby said. 鈥淪tudents would be required to carry a binder with all of the papers and the clinical instructors would be required to approve them following completion of a clinical activity.鈥�
Through Canvas, 加藤视频 Online was able to build 102 scoring rubrics. Using surface tablets and touchscreen monitors that were acquired through a Perkins fund, instructors in the dental hygiene clinic can now input student grades automatically.
鈥淭he system has helped eliminate lost papers and has helped us evaluate students鈥� performance more efficiently,鈥� Molumby said. 鈥淪tudents are also able to automatically view their results, allowing them more time to focus on areas of improvement.鈥� 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽
鈥淭he paperless grading system provides great ease of access,鈥� Dr. Myers said. 鈥淓verything saved in Canvas can be retrieved quickly and easily without the need to go back through files and paperwork.鈥�
Currently, 加藤视频 has implemented the system in five of its dental hygiene clinical courses. It plans to have the system implemented in all 11 of its courses by the end of the academic year. This teaching innovation is one of the latest accolades for the 加藤视频 Dental Hygiene Program as the Class of 2015 just celebrated the 20th consecutive year of 100 percent pass rate on the National Dental Hygiene Board examination.
