On Tuesday July 21, Columbia’s WLTX News 19 published “Technical colleges share plans for fall semester.”
Journalist Julia Kauffman reported on Midlands Tech, Orangeburg-Calhoun Tech and Central Carolina. The news article began:
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Students get hands-on, real-world training at technical colleges. Now with COVID-19, these schools have to find new, creative ways to offer the same close-up learning experience.
Dr. Barrie Kirk, the provost at Midlands Technical College, says technology is helping them do that.
“We are using something called ‘point-of-view glasses’ so an instructor can do an experiment in a lab and inside their glasses there’s a little camera so the students can see exactly what a faculty member is doing and feel like they’re doing it themselves.”
