Drop Canvas Applications
For the Student
1. For students in the B.S.R.S. Core, Drop Canvas is a useful tool to organize assignments related to research--such as handouts, concept maps, and manuscript drafts. This activity supports objectives related to Research Methods and Information Literacy. Students should check the expiration dates on their canvases to ensure that they are available when needed. 2. For students in the B.S.R.S. Core, Drop Canvas is a useful tool to organize peer-reviewed articles related to research. Each foci or theme can have its own canvas. If required, these canvases can be shared with instructor via link or email. Students should check the expiration dates on canvases to ensure that they are available when needed. 3. For students in any curricula, Drop Canvas is a helpful platform for group projects. Documents related to the topic can be shared on one canvas. All students in the group can have access to the link. For example: If assigned a project about Radiographic Positioning for Chest, Abdomen, and Pelvis, then all group members can share related resources on a canvas. 4. For students in any program, Drop Canvas is a tool through which they can work with students throughout their program or in other programs for Registry Review. 5. Drop Canvas is a great way to ask faculty questions about resources and articles. For example: If one article says A about computed tomography and another article says B, then both can be shared with the instructor along with questions--What is correct about computed tomography? Why do the articles disagree? 6. Drop Canvas is a useful group study tool. Students in any medical imaging curricula for any topic can create canvases for studying purposes. Articles and resources related to any topic area can be compiled together. The canvas link can be shared among group members or to entire class for assessment review. Example: For Radiation Biology documents from the FDA, relevant state governments, and professional organizations with guidelines and laws could be compiled together on one canvas for study and review. |
For the Educator
1. For clinical coordinators in any type of medical imaging program, Drop Canvas is an ideal tool to share documents with clinical sites. Forms, schedules, and procedure evaluations can be shared on one canvas so items can be easily downloaded by staff. Canvas can be embedded into educational program site. For this use, a permanent, pay account should be considered. 2. For educators in the Radiography or B.S.R.S. Core teaching Radiographic Pathology or Clinical Practice, Drop Canvas can be used to create mock patient cases. Teachers can make hypothetical histories, lab values, test reports, etc. Students will have to synthesize information and determine next steps in patient care. 3. For educators in any curricula teaching Ethics and Law in the Radiologic Sciences, Drop Canvas can be used to create mock legal cases. Teacher can make, or pull actual, documents such as testimony, case reports, etc. Students will have to synthesize information and determine how care should have been managed differently. 4. For clinical coordinators in the Radiography curriculum, Drop Canvas could be a tool for clinical paperwork collection. Consideration would have to be made for HIPAA--with no patient information on forms. Drop Canvas would be especially useful for this purpose if clinical sites are over a wide geographical area. 5. For clinical coordinators in the Magnetic Resonance curriculum, Drop Canvas could be a tool for clinical paperwork collection. Again, consideration would have to be made for HIPAA--with no patient information on forms. Students could submit procedure totals documentation, imaging evaluation forms, safety documentation, QA documentation, etc. 6. For physics teachers in Radiography and Magnetic Resonance curricula, Drop Canvas can support imaging physics lab design. Lab handouts, related physics resources, images, and diagrams can be stored on a canvas and shared with students for the related lab. |
