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:

Students will read current publications on technology design methods and educational theories. During class sessions, the readings will be discussed in relation to small group design projects. Student will also learn to develop new multimedia environments for learners using the web, video, and hypermedia applications.

In the last third of the semester, students will choose a technology to develop a learning experience for the classroom. Students will use their understanding of the technology development process to create a new learning tool of their choice. Students will conduct real-world task analysis of learners, define learning outcomes supported by computer technology, implement multimedia environments with learners, and finally develop a technology integration plan for the classroom. Students will be responsible for not only creating a final technology project, but a paper describing how the technology will be integrated in the classroom.

Enjoy the Class... ^_^
