Partners in patient Care
Shelby Harbeck, WCTC
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) declared that "health professionals should be educated to deliver Julie Brady, WCTC
patient‐centered care as members of an interdisciplinary team…” Interprofessional education is a pedagogical approach which helps prepare students in various health disciplines, to provide patient care in a collaborative team environment. “Partners in Patient Care” describes the development of a simulated multiple patient experience using our Meti Pre‐Hospital, Meti Nursing, and adult ECS simulators. The collaborative experience provided an opportunity for paramedic and nursing students to provide emergency care to patients at a staged outdoor scene and continue the care through the hospital setting in our Human Patient Simulation lab. These efforts support the 2010 IOM initiatives of promoting interprofessional education and practice. Shelby is a full time nursing instructor at Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) for the last 5 years, teaching both clinical and theory courses for the Level 4, senior level nursing students. She has over 30 years experience working in a variety of settings at Waukesha Memorial Hospital, Waukesha WI. She has taught BLS and ACLS courses for over 25 years, and has worked with METI simulation for the last 4 years. She has developed multiple scenarios and case studies to assist students with critical thinking in the clinical setting.

Putting it together: ITV and Student Friendly media
I will demonstrate the effective combination of ITV with social media, MP4 cameras, and computerized teaching programs. Most importantly, I will demonstrate that their use is intuitive if not easy. The availability of these technologies is greater now than ever and it is important that instructors use them. This is particularly true since the bulk of our students are already using them!
I began teaching full‐time at Western Technical College in the Fall of 1989 in the field of economics. After visiting ITV systems and attending instructor training in North Dakota, Utah and Oklahoma, I helped design the ITV system for our school. I was the first faculty ITV instructor and, as such, trained other instructors to use the medium. I still teach on ITV and combine those classes with the new technologies that we now have available (Facebook, MP4, Blackboard, virtual economics programs from the Council for Economic Education.)
Using Voicethread to converse online
Kelley Kepler, WITC
VoiceThread is a web‐based, multimedia slide show used for collecting and sharing group conversations.

VoiceThread offers a fun alternative to the traditional online discussion board and a platform for instructors and students to create and discuss presentations. This session will share one instructor’s experience using Voicethread in an oral communication class, including research gathered and student feedback. You will also have a chance to try VoiceThread for yourself and brainstorm its potential uses in your classes.
Kelley Kepler teaches communication full‐time at WITC‐New Richmond. She is passionate about technology as a teaching and learning tool and teaches all of her courses (Oral & Interpersonal Communication, Technical Reporting, Written Communication, and Success Strategies) in both online and face‐to‐face formats.
