Sophomore biobehavioral health (BBH) student April Andreozzi, pictured left within the Beam robot, interacts with another BBH student at Penn State Greater Allegheny with the help of the new technology. Andreozzi controls the robot from the New Kensington campus through a laptop computer. The robot enables the shared baccalaureate program to bridge the distance between campuses and increase interactions for students and faculty members.
April Andreozzi, sophomore biobehavioral health (BBH) student at Penn State New Kensington, communicates via a Beam telepresence robot and controls it through her laptop. The new robot enables her to interact with students in the shared program with Penn State Greater Allegheny. The BBH program received the robot through a Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) REACH grant, which is helping bridge the distance between the campuses during distance learning classes.
Kristal Tucker, assistant professor of biology at Penn State Greater Allegheny, speaks with Penelope Morrison, assistant professor of biobehavioral health (BBH) at Penn State New Kensington, via a Beam telepresence robot. The faculty members were able to acquire two robots to be used for the shared BBH program thanks to a Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) REACH grant. The robots are being used in the classrooms to bridge the distance between campuses during distance learning classes.
