Innovative Media Presentation Using iRadTech application as a teaching tool Kimberly Harn CCHE688
Audience: Faculty Approval for Radiologic Technology Students This is an application that can be used by: ● First Year Students ● Second Year Students ● Technologists in the field ● Instructors as a teaching tool
Created by Philip Ballinger and Terri Bruckner
The app: iRadTech and iRadTech Lite What is it? ● Positioning app for radiographer or student ● 190+ positions with detailed instructions ● Convenient guide ● Study Tool ● Radiographic images and illustrations
Download Easy download for iphones and Android Pricing; $16.99 Full Application FREE Lite version limited only 7 exams available Suggest: Technology fee covers purchase at beginning of semester
Rationale: A Tool Used in Course This is an innovative way for students and technologists to always have a positioning and an anatomy reference at their fingertips. Proper patient positioning equals lower radiation dose Great study material for national registry: ARRT
Role of iRadTech in Classroom ● Positioning Lab Resource ● Film Critique Class Resource ● Replaces physical pocket positioning guides ● Clinical Site Supplement
Learning Outcomes Learning Measures Students will identify and describe Knowledge will be measured correct anatomical positioning for over didactically with quizzes, tests and 90 different radiographic examinations critical thinking questions Students will demonstrate a working Knowledge will be demonstrated in knowledge of radiation protection by clinical sites by competencies, image using proper positioning critique and technologist appraisals Students will be able to identify and Knowledge will be measured by a explain the differences between proper written paper comparing and and improper positioning contrasting positioning of selected anatomy
Open iRadTech App Search for CHEST positioning Read through all of the positioning Assignment Answer questions Example 1. Are there any other positions for the chest that iRadtech doesn’t list? 2. How would you perform this in a RAD 138: Positioning Lab trauma situation? 3. How did the chest radiographs appear on the app? Left Lateral? Please simulate the CHEST positioning in Lab with a partner
Example Select Exam, Written Instructions, Visual Model and end result radiograph

Digital Learning Tools: Statistics 94% of students said they wanted to use their phone in the classroom for ● academic purposes ● 75% believe personal devices in the classroom has improved their ability to learn and retain 58% use their phone to take pictures of google slides ● 82% use their smartphone regularly ● ● 54% of students say they get more involved in classes that use technology 55% say they wish instructors used more educational games or simulations to ● teach lessons Trend: Mobile Learning Apps are the future (Faculty Focus, 2011) (Kelly, 2012)
Challenges and Benefits Students Benefits Student Challenges Cheaper than a traditional Security and privacy ● ● textbook Screen size ● Already comfortable using ● Tech support ● their phone Risk of distractions with ● Most already have access to ● social media sites smartphone Own the application for life ● (Leyden, 2015) (Lynch, 2015)
Challenges and Benefits Instructor Benefits Instructor Challenges Personalization Measuring results ● ● Freedom for students to have Connectivity ● ● access to many sources Learning curve for technology ● Access to collaborate with Supporting technology ● ● experts problems Eliminates a textbook ● Free updates ● (Flesher, 2017) (Bart, 2011)
Student Success iRadTech Reviews 4.6 out of 5 Stars The integration of using iRadtech as a positioning tool will allow students to have a lifetime resource as well as a study companion for the ARRT registry at their fingertips This application will allow the school to streamline traditional textbooks and incorporate a mobile technology component to laboratory classes.
