This course focuses on how new computer
technologies for learners can be created and used in an educational
setting. The following topics will be explored: understanding
the learner as a technology user, defining learning outcomes to
be supported by technology, differing approaches to the technology
design process and methods of technology integration in the classroom.
During class sessions, the readings will be discussed in relation
to small group design projects. In the last third of the semester,
Students will use their understanding of the technology development
process to create a new learning tool of their choice. Students
with all levels of technology experience are welcome to take this
course. In addition, students from all disciplines (e.g., computer
science, education, library studies, art, psychology and more)
are welcome to take this multidisciplinary course.
