Do You Know! | |
| In December 1973, the AUB School
of Nursing opened the Helene Fuld Audio-Visual Center, for its men
and women nursing students. The first of its kind in the area, this center was made possible through a $22,000 grant from The Helene Fuld Health Trust in the US. The key objective of the Center, which included Studio 56, Independent Study Center, Audio Visual Library and Production Room was to promote the teaching-learning process through modern educational technology. Facilities provided by the Center included program production, which enabled faculty to create, direct and assemble effective instructional material on videotape, transparencies and slides. Also included was a closed-circuit TV for the classroom. |
