The following is sample video from the CD-ROM, To the Heart of the Matter: The Cardiovascular System in American Sign Language and English . (Video requires QuickTime - free download.) This CD, produced by Todd Tourville, represents a coordinated effort to bring technical information from a college level-setting to working interpreters and ITP students. On the CD-ROM, you will see a cardiovascular system lecture presented by Paul Buttenhoff, an Assistant Professor at the College of St. Catherine and Kendall Kail, a Kinesiology student, who is culturally Deaf, from the University of Minnesota. The lectures cover the same material and are excellent tools for interpreters and students to use when working to improve their receptive and expressive skills. In addition, the CD contains model interpretations for both lectures by Patty McCutcheon, a nationally certified interpreter as well as short warmup lectures by both presenters, transcripts of the English lectures, outline notes from the technical ASL lectures, a list of specialized vocabulary and diagrams of the heart.
