Robotics: Teaching the New Skills to Compete
Mechanical, Manufacturing & Communication
Red River College opened a new robotics lab in the fall of 2011. Instructor Shylyte Bloodworth introduced first year welders to the robots in MANU-1044 “Intro to Robotics.” She believes a robotics program is going to open up new opportunities for the students and new skills as the technology rolls out into industry.

Instructor Tasha Holt and Instructional Designer Claudius Soodeen developed the application to guide first year students in learning proper documentation procedures and terminology through mobile technologies.

Second-year students representing all four streams of the CreComm (journalism, advertising, public relations and broadcasting) served as technical crew and on-air talent while broadcasting live from the Humane Society Telethon.

In conjunction with the Nursing Department, eTV is producing a series of procedural clips on nursing techniques. Our new mobile production unit (we’d appreciated name suggests) allows us to meet increasing demand for high quality, video based learning materials. The production unit consists of three HD cameras, a switcher, audio and lighting gear for anywhere – anytime production. In addition, the unit will allow us to stream live multi-camera events from anywhere in the building. The material being produced for Nursing will also soon be available on mobile devices for students on the go.
