Instructional Equipment and Supplies

The purchase of these items would allow students the use of their own individual laboratory tools and prevent sharing, maintaining social distancing. Each additional semester will continue to have an adequate number of instruments/equipment for all students to work independently and safely.

Students normally share equipment in chemistry labs. The Chemistry Department needs additional equipment and supplies to adequately social distance in the laboratory.

This equipment will provide students the ability to master essential nursing and clinical skills remotely to address the gap in clinical practice due to COVID-19.

For each student in the ceramic studio to have their own socially distanced pottery wheel, 12 additional wheels are needed for Knight and Flanagan.

Purchase IV Pumps for Nursing to be used for hands-on training that allows for social distancing.

This proposal is to purchase additional quantities of video, audio, and graphics equipment already used in the digital media courses to promote social distancing.

The CCRI Library, in collaboration with The Center for Innovative Teaching, Learning and Assessment (CITLA), seeks the participation of 10 full time faculty members interested in joining the newly established OER Faculty Fellow Program.

Due to the cleaning process for this sensitive video and audio equipment and the pandemic, sharing equipment is not feasible. This proposal includes the purchase of enough equipment to lend all students their own during their courses.

Additional rocks and minerals are needed to build more stations in geology labs to promote social distancing.

To allow for social distancing and reduced wait times in the laboratory, an additional LOGIQ E10 ultrasound console will help prepare students for clinical practice.

The current supply of operable microscopes for these courses is insufficient to achieve the desired 1:1 ratio to provide a safer and more productive microscope experience. Sharing a microscope brings students in very close contact, which puts them at greater risk of spreading the coronavirus.
