2021 Exemplary Award Winners 1st place winner: Dani Hawke, Merry Low, & Dr. Nicholas Vick, Tallahassee Community College Presentation Title: LC Pop-Up Videos Narrative: The Learning Commons staff at Tallahassee Community College (TCC) formulated the “Pop-Up Video” initiative. The pop-up video itself is a throwback to VH1’s music pop-up videos from the 1990s in which little blurbs about the artist or song would appear. While incorporating cutting-edge platforms such as VidGrid and Canva, the Learning Commons staff have produced short videos that mimic VH1’s engaging and nostalgic shorts. The content of these videos obviously diverges from that of VH1, and ranges from top skills for MAC1105 classes, to success in online courses, and the Spanish imperfect vs. preterit tenses. However, the form of these resources weaves a classic pop culture artifact with important course content and academic success tips for our students at TCC. These videos are short and sweet, intended to grab students’ attention and quickly convey the information they need to be successful in their classes. 2nd place winner: Harry Holdorf, Eastern State College Presentation Title: Our Job is to Give You What You Want Narrative: The Adult Cardiac Sonography ATC was created as a building block for a “One-Stop-Shopping” process in sonography. The Vascular Sonography ATC serves as an adjunct to the AS Degree General sonography program. The Adult Cardiac Sonography program allows registered Sonography professionals to expand their skills and leads to an Advanced Technical Certificate from Eastern Florida State College. As the adult population ages, the need for doctors to diagnose and treat heart-related issues is increasing, leading to rising demand for cardiac sonographers. Classroom and hands-on clinical experience are both key parts of the program, with local hospitals, diagnostic centers, and clinics serving as clinical education settings for the certificate. Job opportunities include working in hospitals, emergency clinics, medical clinics, and physician’s offices. AFC Technology Commission extends our appreciation to the four (4) Colleges that submitted their 2021 Technology Commission Exemplary Practice Award projects. All of the projects were excellent and outstanding. 1.) Harry Holdorf, Eastern State College – Presentation Title: Our Job is to Give You What You Want 2.) Dr. Emmanuel Hernandez, Kurt Morris, and Jose Lopez, Gulf Coast State College– Presentation Title: Product Development Cross-discipline Project 3.) Dani Hawke, Merry Low, & Dr. Nicholas Vick – Tallahassee Community College – Presentation Title: LC Pop-Up Videos 4.) Madeline Heller, Buffi Bailey, Rodney, Garrett, Mike Johnston, Scott Schackmann, and Brian Underwood, Pensacola State College – Presentation Title: Supporting Faculty in the Transition to fully Online Classes 2020 Exemplary Practice Award Winners1st place winner: Dr. Nicholas Vick / Dani Hawke, Tallahassee Community College – Presentation Title: LC Videos – Promotional Video Planning Narrative: Our exemplary practice emerged from a time of remote learning and remote working during the early days of the pandemic. We knew that communicating with our students was essential, and our staff decided the best approach was to create short videos. The documentation is provided with this application package detailing how these different videos were very well received by faculty, staff, and students. The videos that were sent to students include Closed Captioning, and we made audio-only versions that can be listened to as short podcasts. The video project itself was a testament to the amazing collaboration that our staff believes is critical to our success. This work included contributions from both full-time and part-time staff members. We involved everyone from receptionists to administrative staff to help convey the important messages that the Tallahassee Learning Commons was open and ready to support student learning. 2nd place winner: Veronica Martabano & Leigh Clay, Indian River State College– Presentation Title: SLS – Advisor Connect Narrative: Indian River State College (IRSC) embraces the use of analytics as a pillar that supports student success. Often, when analytics are looked at, outcomes are the focus – we want to see if data-informed initiatives produce any effects. While results are incredibly important, the collaborations that make initiatives possible are also worthy of attention. This practice shows how two departments at IRSC worked in different ways and collaborated to achieve the same outcome – student success. 3rd place winner: Dr. Naita Guine / Jennifer Peterson, Florida State College Jacksonville - Presentation Title: Using YouTube to Enhance the Student Experience Narrative: For over 50 years, Florida State College at Jacksonville has successfully provided adult education to high need populations in Duval County. The Adult Education program at Florida State College at Jacksonville strives to help those without basic literacy skills and limited employment opportunities. We offer extensive academic, tutorial, career planning, and case management services for students at three college campus sites, 2 campus centers, and one community site. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for individuals with low skills and place them on a path to workforce or college credit readiness.
