Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine’s (HCOM) story is one of connection and collaboration around their three main Ohio campuses: Athens, Cleveland, and Dublin. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic forced organizations to pivot their ways of working and learning from solely in-room to remote and hybrid, the Heritage College was searching for a way to bridge the gap between campuses so that student and instructor engagement remained at a high no matter where the lesson was being taught.
Recently we got to visit campus and speak with key stakeholders at HCOM to share their T1V story.
Check out our Instagram Story Highlight for a play-by-play of our day at HCOM.
The brand-new, state-of-the-art Athens building sets the stage for the multisite, multicampus learning environment the team at HCOM has built. We stepped into one of the ThinkHub-powered Active Learning Classrooms (ALC) that connects students and instructors across all three campuses.
They’ve got it down to a science.
Supporting upwards of 130 students in a single ALC — 16 ThinkHub Student Stations line the walls of this high tech classroom, each with an interactive display where students can cast their wireless device (phones, laptops, tablets, etc.) using the T1V app. Students share what they are working on with their fellow students at table level, at classroom level via the main ThinkHub Instructor Stations, or best of all — these Student Station views can be shared in real-time across any other ALC on any Heritage College campus with ThinkHub MultiSite.
Large displays on either end of the classroom show live video feeds of the additional ALCs engaging in the class session supported with microphones systems at each Instructor Station and Student Station so that everyone can be an active participant.
Not on campus? No problem. Remote students can easily and quickly connect to either their assigned Student Station or Instructor Station utilizing the T1V app — creating the optimal HyFlex classroom for hybrid teaching and learning.
