Diane: My presentation is "Apple of My Eye

"Clinical Instruction Enhanced by

"Bug-in-the-Eye Technology."

Caleb: The technology is way more advanced.

Matthew: I think we have a pretty good solution

to helping technology become more invisible.

Nicole: Once we get the hang of it,

it was really subtle.

[lively music]

Diane: It was a very professional, comfortable,

collegial environment.

And so even though it's labelled "Sharks,"

I did not feel that, you know, I was bait.

I've actually been at Minnesota State Mankato

for 30 years, and over that time,

our lab has continued to grow and develop

because I've continued to stay engaged with

individuals from IT

who helped me really realize my dreams.

Matthew: Getting this grant means a lot to us

because it allows us to take huge leaps in technology

that would normally maybe take us a few years

to try and get the money together to do.

Diane: Before the Shark Tank funding,

the way my lab looked,

students are practicing skills.

Caleb: In our last session, we talked about stress...

Diane: In those rooms, students would have to put a device

on their ear and have a pack on their side.

Caleb: When I put it in my ear,

it's very uncomfortable in my ear

physically but also, you know, being able to hear the feedback

and hear the static.

When it comes to you

talking about how you're suffocating with...

Diane: Caleb?

Caleb: All the different aspects...

Diane: I need to make sure you understand that you have...

Caleb: Of your life.

Diane: To hear the whole triangle.

Caleb: I felt myself having to adjust it

multiple times on my ear,

then also adjust it while it's sitting in my lap

because we do have, like, a battery pack.

So it's just very distracting to both of us.

Heather: I felt like I wasn't being heard,

and I felt that he was distracted

and kind of focusing on what was going on with his earbud

rather than focusing on what I was saying.

Caleb: Because I want to get the feedback immediately

from my professor,

however, I'm also wanting to be 100% present with my client.

Diane: That's really what motivated me

to begin to think about, is there another way

that I can guide them?

We went from that kind of a scenario

to the Apple Watch scenario,

where now my student counsellors walk into the room

and they simply have a piece of jewelry on their wrist.

They have an Apple Watch,

and clients don't question that.

People don't wonder about that.

They just assume it's a watch.

And therefore, it has the ability

to be far less obtrusive.

- It's just a little vibration,

so it's nice because it's not as noticeable

as, like, a sound or something like that,

and it's a way to get, you know, a short little message

saying, you know, "Try this, remember this."

Diane: Well, perhaps more guiding to them

and give them a sense of security

that the client in the room doesn't really know

they're being guided.

- I'd say the best feature is that immediacy that you get.

Diane: We were able to secure watches

for both the client and the counsellor.

Clients will be able to touch their Apple Watch

and get their heart rate immediately.

Nicole: And just seeing these techniques affect you

in the moment so that you can apply that.

Diane: The students that are counsellors

are getting immediate feedback that they've had

immediate impact on a client.

And we are required to teach our students

how to measure outcome;

how did your counselling have an effect?

We were able to get Apple Watches and iPads.

The iPads are used as a formative assessment tool,

and every student is involved in the assessment process,

where they evaluate each other.

What feedback would you have for Taylor?

- Just digging a little deeper into her feelings.

Heather: Getting the feedback faster

has served me well,

and I'm able to just kind of get it back right away;

I can read it right away.

Diane: The more immediate feedback can be provided

to students,

the better the learning.

Matthew: We're giving our students wonderful access

to technology they're gonna use the second they walk out

of this institution.

2018 Shark Tank Open: Minnesota State Community & Technical College - Duration: 4:51.

Travis DeJong: Our business is booming.

Richard Hilscher: They can pretty much write the ticket

anywhere in the country.

Travis DeJong: Nobody in the area has any way to teach this.

Kim Lynch: How do we use innovation funds

to fund things that help our students

be at the cutting edge?

Travis DeJong: We had a missing link.

I started looking into the Shark Tank.

Kim Lynch: We had a proposal

that really helped us think about

how innovation in the technical areas

can really make a difference.

Travis DeJong: And off we went to Minneapolis to present.

Our presentation we came up with was Keeping It Cool.

[upbeat rock music]

man: And this next presentation,

Keeping It Cool: Utilizing State-of-the-art Technology

in Commercial Refrigeration.

Travis DeJong: Being in front of the shark...

We have to set our goals--

When I first stepped up there, I was very nervous,

and then I got a--a thumbs up from one of the sharks

and it seemed to calm my nerves.

Two years ago, we were struggling with enrollment

in our first-year class.

We were dealing with layoffs.

Our enrollment has gone from 10 to 12 students,

up to 22 with a full class with a waiting list.

Dallon Saiko: This education has given me

a lot of field trainings.

Travis DeJong: I help the students learn

about commercial refrigeration

and commercial HVAC air conditioning.

Miles Scholl: You know, in the beginning of the year,

it was a big emphasis on freezers and fridges,

from wiring to the refrigeration,

you know, the refrigerants themselves.

Travis DeJong: In the next five years,

there's gonna be 300,000 employees retiring,

and we are unable to meet those hiring needs.

So we need as many students in our program

as we can possibly get.

Richard Hilscher: Almost any state in the nation

is looking for qualified service techs.

Travis DeJong: M State is located in the western edge

of Minnesota,

right near the Red River and in the Red River Valley.

The commercial refrigeration industry,

all the grocery stores, the warehouses,

the cold storage, use this type of refrigeration

in the industry.

Richard Hilscher: It's used in almost every grocery store

in the valley here.

Matt Leiseth: They play a huge part.

When you think about all the fresh options that we have

inside of the store, from produce, bakery, deli,

meat department, and our frozen food and dairy,

there are so many items and thousands of dollars

of inventory tied up in safekeeping

inside of our refrigeration system.

Miles Scholl: HVAC and refrigeration right now,

there's a lot of new technology.

Travis DeJong: But the reality is,

we are teaching students commercial refrigeration

from a single condensing unit and a single case.

So we had a missing link.

We had no way to teach our students

how to work on this stuff.

Miles Scholl: You know, this new technology

that's being used so broadly.

Travis DeJong: We're asking for $24,552 to implement

state-of-the-art commercial refrigeration equipment

and technology in our classroom.

Matt Leiseth: Refrigeration technology is something

that's never gonna go away for supporting a grocery store.

The leaps and bounds that technology is making,

where we can have 24-hour, seven-day-a-week monitoring

to make sure that, we're offsite, we can see

what cases are going down,

which ones are in defrost cycles.

Just the ability to be able to track that

and make sure that the product we have

is safe for our customers.

Travis DeJong: Every modern grocery store

has a grocery store rack system.

We received some money from the advisory board

to get this all started,

but I just didn't have enough.

We have the pieces. We just need your help

to pull it together.

With instructor training and installation,

we can start keeping cool.

woman: Can you talk a little bit more

about other ways or continued engagement

that employers play in this?

Richard Hilscher: The role of the advisory committee

for M State is just to help the instructors

plan for the future.

Matt Leiseth: These are jobs that are in demand.

Travis DeJong: We just cannot teach enough students

for the availability.

The results from the Shark Tank

were that we received $22,700.

Kim Lynch: Innovation in the technical areas

can really make a difference to our students' learning

in that they are really right in the moment

of the most current, the best technology

that they'll be using when they enter the workforce.

Miles Scholl: It's really nice to be able to

put the nervousness aside because I've worked on it,

I've had exposure to it.

You know, it really helps that, you know,

I have a step up and understand it.

Travis DeJong: It is gonna make a huge difference

for the employees in our area.

Richard Hilscher: They're gonna be way steps ahead

of everybody else in the industry.

2018 Shark Tank Open: Southwest Minnesota State University - Duration: 3:59.

[upbeat music]

Emily Deaver: There's lots of concern about costs of textbooks.

Logan Glynn: You're always kinda stressed out

about how you're gonna be getting your textbooks

and how you're gonna be paying for them.

Amanda Bemer: It's open. Anyone can access it and use it.

Logan Glynn: It's completely free.

Lisa Lucas Hurst: The title of this textbook is...

Ethan Voss: "Why Writing Works:

Amanda Bemer: "Disciplinary Approaches...

Logan Glynn: To Composing Texts."

Heather Moreland: Never in my wildest dreams

did I think that I would be approached

to assist with an English textbook.

[dynamic music]

Kim Lynch: We're really broadening the idea of innovation

to include something we've looked at separately

in the past,

and that's Open Educational Resources.

Amanda Bemer: OER stands for Open Educational Resources.

This means that the resources are open access

and that anyone can use them.

Kim Lynch: A group of faculty there came together

for their writing in the disciplines course.

Amanda Bemer: When we saw the grant that was offered

by the Minnesota State System office,

we were really excited.

I gathered a small team of English faculty together

so we could figure out what it was exactly we wanted to do.

I collaborated with IT

and with our administration,

and it gave us the resources we needed

to get materials that were interdisciplinary

from across our campus.

Ethan Voss: I did a little research on Southwest Minnesota State,

and the English department is outstanding.

The authors of the textbook are professors

at Southwest Minnesota State University.

Amanda Bemer: Our online textbook is a big advantage

for our writing faculty at SMSU.

It helps us, especially in our sophomore-level

English writing class, "Writing in Professions."

Lisa Lucas Hurst: It is a rather unique approach

to a composition course, which is what we developed it for,

because it addresses reading,

writing, research, and documentation

within different disciplines.

Kim Lynch: It's as immediate as it could possibly be.

Emily Deaver: What time do they take their measurements?

Amanda Bemer: The main focus of our open online textbook

was to get different materials

from faculty from across campus.

Emily Deaver: And I provided detailed information about

writing, specifically, and reading

in the field of environmental science.

Heather Moreland: People don't normally associate, you know,

writing in the mathematics profession,

and yet, when you look at what professional mathematicians do,

in terms of scholarly articles and things of that nature,

we have to write to communicate.

Lisa Lucas Hurst: With marketing, there have been

specific materials developed for our marketing students.

Logan Glynn: And it makes me comfortable knowing

I'm learning from them and getting advice

and homework and assignments from them

when they're the ones that have written it.

Emily Deaver: Technical writing in the scientific field

is really important.

All environmental scientists need to be able

to communicate, particularly as they do

research of any kind.

Lisa Lucas Hurst: They've already been practicing how to document

in their field. They've already been

looking at the conversations

that have been happening in their discipline

in trade journals and academic journals.

Heather Moreland: So they're gonna see that real,

immediate application to their field of study.

Amanda Bemer: They are also really excited

by the free aspect of the textbook.

Logan Glynn: It's nice because you're already overwhelmed

with paying for all your other books.

So not even having a physical textbook

is another good thing about it too,

how you can just go online and access it.

Kim Lynch: So in this instance, not only do students have

an affordable way to take the course

by accessing those materials, but they're really gaining

from the knowledge and expertise.

Amanda Bemer: Everyone has a stake in this,

and everyone can help.

Lisa Lucas Hurst: It's always there. It's always accessible.
