The Capstone College of Nursing Information Technology department (CCN IT) provides faculty with the necessary resources to teach essential nursing concepts, supports staff efforts, and facilitates student learning through diverse learning experiences.
CCN IT provides the following services:
The 25-seat computer lab is located at CCN 2029, and is open to all students, 8:00-4:45 Monday-Friday, except when reserved for class or testing. Printing is available.
Dual high definition projectors in our classrooms allow for greater detail and clarity when presenting medical materials to students. Faculty use HD video cameras to record simulations and demonstrations for training and learning modules. Students may use the same cameras to record projects.
Panopto is a classroom capture software that allows students to view recordings of lectures for review or to study before exams. Recordings can be downloaded to mobile devices for convenient playback, as well as viewed at a computer.
All CCN courses are either web supported or totally online. Course materials and testing are delivered through BlackBoard Learn. There are no longer any paper/pencil tests.
Students use their own laptops in class for accessing pertinent information, testing and note taking. Laptops are available for check-out for testing purposes, if needed. This allows CCN to maintain a smaller computer lab, leaving more space for clinical and simulation labs while making it possible for more than one course to test at a time. See minimum and recommended notebook computer specifications for CCN students.
Two quiet study rooms, one for undergraduates and one for graduate students, both with seating and workspace for individuals and small groups are available on the second floor.
High speed connections throughout the building make all these data-intensive technologies possible and practical for the use of our students and faculty. Classrooms are equipped with network and power connections at every seat, including the flexible classrooms furnished with moveable tables and chairs. Wireless network coverage makes it possible to use handheld and laptop devices anywhere in the building.
