COBLESKILL, N.Y. — What if a paramedic student could view a delicate medical procedure directly through the eyes of his instructor, and then apply that experience to his own practice? A new pilot program at State University of New York Cobleskill will allow students to do just that, using Google Glass to provide first-person point-of-view video capture and replay in an academic laboratory. According to SUNY Cobbleskill CIO Jim Dutcher, the pilot seeks to enhance the delivery of experiential learning in support of traditional modes of instruction in two programs: paramedic training and animal hoof health.
CT: Can you give us a brief overview of the program?
Dutcher: We are a four-year school in the SUNY system. We pride ourselves on hands-on, experiential learning. We are excited about piloting the use of new wearable technology. We’ve made quite an investment in setting up a state-of-the-art simulation lab, and we are very proud of that infrastructure.
