Technology in the Classroom

Virtual Cadaver T LBCC is the first community college in Oregon to have innovative teaching tool Laid end to end, the adult human body has nearly 100,000 miles of blood vessels and 46 miles of nerves. There are 206 bones, 78 organs, and billions of tiny cells. To teach students these complex body systems, LBCC Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) instructors are using a new, innovative teaching tool: the Anatomage Anatomy Table, also known as a Virtual Cadaver. LBCC is the first community college in Oregon to use virtual cadaver technology in A&P classes. Looking like an oversized iPad, the full-length table allows students to rotate, zoom in and out, and navigate 3D human cadaver images to study the human body.

A&P instructor Charlene LaRoux is one of the first teachers to use the new technology in her classroom. “One of the exciting things about the virtual cadaver is students can literally see all the parts at the same time, and they see it all in 3D,” said LaRoux. “The software allows us to remove parts with the touch of a screen, and replace them as we move through the course.” The virtual table is pre-loaded with four different human cadavers, created from images of real cadavers. It also comes with a large database of x-ray scans, CT scans, MRI scans, and medical images that cover diseases, abnormalities and injuries. Students can move through the human body layer by layer and honein on specific body systems. “When we study the digestive system, for example, students are able to perform a virtual dissection and remove body parts that we don’t need right then,” said LaRoux. “They can even roll the image from side to side and back to front to view from different angles.”

Charlene LaRoux, left, has been teaching biological sciences at LBCC since 2010. She has a bachelor’s degree in Organismal Biology from Portland State University, and a master’s degree and PhD in Human Anatomy and Physiology from the University of Oregon.

Technology

“We focus on the essentials, knowing that students will get more detailed as they move ahead in their programs. The virtual table really allows us to do that.” ~ Charlene LaRoux With the virtual technology, dissection labs are quicker and more cost-effective. In the virtual world, there is no shelf life. And chemicals normally used for human cadaver dissection are no longer needed, which is an added bonus for students who have allergies or asthma, or who are sensitive to smells like formaldehyde. Approximately 200 students move through LBCC’s three-term anatomy and physiology series each year. Most of those students are majoring in health care fields such as nursing, diagnostic imaging, exercise and sports science, and health administration. “A&P classes are a big part of our nursing program,” said Kristina Holton, dean of LBCC’s Science, Engineering and Math division. “Biology is also a large part of our student pathways, and one of the largest transfer programs for students going to Oregon State.”

Holton was instrumental in acquiring the Anatomage technology, which was purchased in part by funds from the Ann and Doug Brodie Science Program Endowment through the LBCC Foundation. Ann Brodie is a retired OSU biological sciences professor and former LBCC Board of Education member, and both Ann and Doug are lifelong supporters of education.

“Biology is a large part of our student pathways, and one of the largest transfer programs for students going to Oregon State.” ~Kristina Holton

Making the roads safer, one student at a time Leah Hansen is one of 14 certified instructors for LBCC’s Driver Education program. Each instructor has their own reason for teaching safe driving to teens, but Hansen’s reason is very personal. Before coming to LBCC, Hansen drove a Corvallis city bus for many years, and thought about becoming a driving instructor. It wasn’t until a fateful event nearly a decade ago that she found the motivation to teach. In September 2009, Hansen’s former husband was leaving for work in Eastern Oregon. After driving almost 100 miles, and only 9 miles from his destination, he fell asleep at the wheel. His car crossed the center line and hit a truck pulling a trailer. He died on impact. Hansen believes the long work hours combined with little sleep were factors in the fatal crash.

With school, work, sports, homework and social obligations, teenagers need more sleep than most adults. Making sure her students understand the importance of staying alert while driving is a personal mission for Hansen. Today, Hansen teaches her young students not only the rules of the road and safe vehicle operation, but also personal preparedness and the importance of staying alert while driving. “My students watch a video about drowsy driving, and I show them the photos from the fatal crash,” said Hansen. “The response has been positive, and my students are more engaged because this is something that happened to someone they know, which is me.” For more than 25 years, LBCC Community Education has held Driver Education classes in Linn and Benton counties. All LBCC courses are approved by the Oregon Department of Transportation-Traffic Safety Division.

“Drowsy driving is the same as driving impaired,” said Hansen. ”Teenagers are especially apt to drive drowsy because their lives are very full.”

COMPUTER iPHONE/iPAD SERIES Whether you’re brand new to the iPhone or iPad or have been using your device for awhile the three three-week sessions of this class will show you how to get the most out of your mobile device. In addition to the basics, you’ll learn tips and shortcuts that will enhance your usage and increase your efficiency. The step by step classroom media presentations are accompanied by very detailed handouts and are presented in a relaxed environment. The materials apply to the iPod Touch as well. Please note: These classes are specific to Apple phones and tablets and do not apply to Android devices.

IPHONE/IPAD-BEYOND ESSENTIALS This course is designed to help iPhone and iPad users deepen their skills beyond just making phone calls, sending and receiving emails and surfing the internet. Intended as a follow up to the iPhone/iPad classes and is not intended for beginning users. Class concentration will be on discovering the options and features of the Notes App. Once only a very basic application for creating simple notes, this app has been seriously enhanced in recent versions of the operating system. It now even includes features that are not covered in the introductory iPhone/iPad classes due to time constraints. Though not a substitute for a full-featured word processing application, Notes has evolved into an app whose features are worth exploring. 43842 W BUSH,G

SINGLE STOP

Helping Students Stay on Track “We help students connect with resources to help with some basic college expenses like books and fees,” said Amanda Stanley, LBCC program coordinator and resource navigator. “While students are here, we also talk to them about how to apply for scholarships.” By mid-term, students need more help with child care, transportation, and health care. Among the resources that Single Stop can connect students to is healthcare. During fall term, Stanley worked with Benton County Health to Single Stop serves as a bring Oregon Health ‘one stop shop’ to help Plan insurance navigators to campus, students access emergency more than funds to help them stabilize, helping 70 students find and to connect students solutions for their insurance needs. to resources and support

” For many students, the challenges of going to college go beyond the classroom…covering expenses, balancing family responsibilities and even getting to campus can be barriers to success. Now a new office on campus is helping students connect with a variety of resources they need to stay on track and in class. The Single Stop office, located across from the Admissions Office in Takena Hall, brings campus and community resources together into one place. Since opening last fall, the office has connected LBCC students to more than $130,000 in benefits and resources using Single Stop USA’s online program. Resource navigators at the college provide free, one-onone assistance to connect students with resources such as legal and financial aid, food assistance, options for transportation, healthcare and childcare, help with utility bills, and emergency assistance for unforeseen expenses.

to meet their immediate and longer term needs.

“The OHP navigators helped students find out what they ~Amanda Stanley were eligible for, and helped them enroll,” said Stanley. “This term, we expanded the service to offer more sessions to help students with their health insurance needs.” Single Stop is part of a broader college initiative to help address affordability for all students. Affordability often refers to more than covering the cost of tuition, and can include support for unforeseen expenses that quickly become barriers to college success and completion. LBCC is continually working to find creative solutions to help students stay on track, stay in class and be successful in college.

for Opportunity

Art class provides positive path for incarcerated young women at Oak Creek Student Micah R. My drawing is of a woman named Alice Paul and she helped get the 19th Amendment to become a thing. A quality I share with Alice Paul is the quality of strength. She used strength to fight for her rights, I am using strength to fight the stereotypes of incarcerated youth and to become the woman I want to be.

“Everything I have seen about rates of recidivism shows that repeat offenses drop dramatically when people have access to education,” said Magratten. For the Oak Creek high school students who took Magratten’s Drawing I class, the experience provided them the opportunity to show that they could be successful taking a college-level class.

When LBCC instructor Anne Magratten was asked to teach a college art class to young women incarcerated at Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility, she jumped at the chance. Art can be deeply therapeutic, says Magratten, and can allow us to focus on something positive despite our circumstances.

To challenge the young women, Magratten developed a unique portraiture project that blended basic drawing techniques with a conceptual writing component. What the young women did not know was that the subjects Magratten chose for them to draw had one thing in common: they had all been incarcerated.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, girls now account for a larger percentage of students behind bars than they did a decade ago.

“There’s a social stigma around arrest,” said Magratten. “This art project let these young women learn about other individuals who were

also arrested, such as Coretta Scott King, but whose arrest was often due to a greater social justice issue such as voting, or fighting for their rights, or even just wearing pants.” For the writing component of the project, the students were asked to identify one strength she had in common with her chosen subject, and then write a paragraph about that strength to go with her drawing. Finding a positive connection can be powerful. “The young women at Oak Creek are exceptional,” said Magratten. “They bring a wide range of life experiences to the classroom, and there’s a willingness to be real and authentic about their experiences, which can inform class discussions. These women are some of my favorite students to work with.” LBCC has a long history of teaching at Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility, which has two high schools on its Albany campus. LBCC instructors currently teach art, communication, career exploration and Spanish at Oak Creek, with a future goal to offer science and math classes. Most of the young women incarcerated at Oak Creek are working on earning a high school diploma or GED. Once released from incarceration, the opportunity provided to these young women to take college classes can make a difference in their lives going forward. The Oak Creek women’s artwork is on display in the hall leading to the college presidents’ office through March. Discover Art at LBCC: linnbenton.edu/art

Student Elaine J. My drawing is of Euna Lee. Lee is a Korean American journalist. She and fellow journalist Laura Ling were arrested in North Korea in 2009 and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for allegedly “refusing to stop filming” on the border of North Korea and China. We have in common the fact that we both believe in speaking for the truth. 3
