- To develop, implement and evaluate an innovative strategy integrating digital photos using a 360-degree camera application as a strategy in teaching the community assessment process. Generally, foundational components of community assessment are defined in the classroom and applied in a community practicum setting. Teaching the basics of community assessment is challenging due to the necessarily broad and contextual nature of assessing whole populations. Incorporating digital photos as a teaching strategy augments the collection of data, provides a unique approach to learning and extends opportunities for community engagement. 2021
