Testimonials

We are happy to share success stories from students, faculty and staff members who have been involved in the VILOS project. These testimonials demonstrate the versatility and adaptability of VILOS to the needs of all students. 

• "VILOS are nice to have at home for reviewing purposes. It make it easier to connect to the proper procedure versus the book and memory from the class." Kim, student
  
  
• "The VILOS helped me a lot to refresh my memory on procedures that we did in class.  It reminded me of what I keep missing and helped me understand to do better because I can go back as many times as I need and look at the procedures.  I loved being part of the taping too." Kari, student
  
  
• "I have really benefited from the VILOS productions that Patty Ley has produced about laboratory procedures we are learning this semester.  In order to remember the steps needed to produce quality results, I am able to view these short segments on my computer at home.  I am a person who needs visuals to learn." Cheryl, student
  
  
• "The VILOS Patty Ley made were extremely helpful to me in reviewing procedures for a number of laboratory tasks.   They were a great memory jog for the Final studying I was doing.  For me, it is definitely better to see the procedure instead of just reading from a book.  Great for visual learners!" Shannon, student
  
  
• "I thought the VILOS were great!  They really helped for studying and learning purposes.  They were a great review for the Final!" Laura, student
  
  
• "The VILOS were very informative for me.  I was able to review them for tests.  They show step-by-step information on the procedures.  They are a great help and very easy to follow.  I have used them for more than just one class." Jill, student
  
  
• "I see where we could use technology like this to augment almost any class in the School of Health Care. I can see the use with students who are struggling and need to repeat a procedure or to visualize how a procedure was done if they missed a class." Denise Jordan RN, Nursing Instructor
  
  
• "I believe the VILOS are a great learning tool and an asset to the class. They help you especially in testing. So whatever VILOS are given to you,use them because they do help." Celetta, student
  
  
• "The VILOS are great especially when you view them before going to class so you know what to expect. They are very helpful in your check offs so use them often and use them wisely." Laura, student
  
  
• "The immediacy of the availability found in 24/7 streaming video VILOS will be a huge asset to students and faculty alike. We live in a world of impatience and immediacy. We have the potential meet student and faculty needs continually through use of a streaming VILOS." Jewel Diller, Nursing Program Chair 
  
  
• "In addition to having ready reference videos of nursing procedures, the streaming video can alsoadd to the continuity of the nursing programs. When the faculty in thelab, in the classroom and in the clinical area all have access to the same procedure set, the students will also be consistent in the lab, classroom and clinical areas when performing procedures." Jewel Diller, Nursing Program Chair
  
  
• "I like the fact that we can watch the VILOS at our leisure and be able to go back and rewind and pause them. They have been a wonderful instructional tool." Amanda, student
  
  
• "I see where we could use technology like this to augment almost any class in the School of Health Care. I can see the use with students who are struggling and need to repeat a procedure or to visualize how a procedure was done if they missed a class." Denise Jordan RN, Nursing Instructor
  
  
• "The accrediting body, CAAHEP-AAMA requires continued practice of the skill until the mastered and this does not always happen in scheduled class time. Additionally, funds are not available for open lab time and additional lab resources, which was identified by NCA as an area the college needed to improve on. This plan will allow the MEA program and the college to address this student need through a “virtual” open lab concept." Tova Green, Medical Assisting Program Chair
  
  
• "The VILOS give the student the opportunity to prepare for class, look at them during class and after we do the procedure, they are able to take the videos home to review the procedures for their Skills Check-offs." Dave Martin, CMA, Medical Assisting Instructor

We would like to thank our students for their active participation, enthusiasm, and on-going feedback. We couldn't have done it without them!
