EME 7458 - Research in Distance Learning (USF)
This is a survey course examining the field of distance learning. This is not a production course. Although you will leave with enough knowledge to begin designing a Distance Learning course, the nature of a survey course is for you to get the big picture of Distance Learning in many different environments and using many different media or combination of media. With this said, you will produce products in this class that will help to assess your understanding of the field of Distance Learning. These will usually be in the form of written work, but may also include things such as presentations and actual distance course elements.
CGS 6210 - Microcomputer Hardware Systems for Education (USF)
The purpose of this course is to develop individuals who have an understanding of microcomputer hardware that allows them to teach about hardware concepts as well as make decisions concerning its purchase, repair, and appropriate use.
MIT 520 - Managing Instructional Development (UNCW)
Examination of principles of planning, scheduling, allocating resources, budgeting, proposal preparation, cost control and personnel management for instructional projects. Students negotiate an effective design project plan, how to implement that plan, and how to control and monitor project activities. Case studies will be used as a basis for exercises and discussions. Each student will develop a plan that meets specific criteria.
MIT 595- Games, Simulations, and Virtual Worlds (UNCW)
Topics include the characteristics and terminology of games, simulations and virtual worlds; development life cycles; design principles; evaluation; and an emphasis on connecting principles of learning to the design of games, simulations and virtual worlds. Students practice these concepts in several assignments. The course culminates with teams creating a functional prototype.
EDN 303 - Instructional Technology (UNCW)
This course will provide students with an understanding of the principles that underlie the design, production, and evaluation of instructional materials, computer generated presentations, and interactive media with particular emphasis on effective classroom use and integration into instructional units. Students will develop skills in the operation of microcomputers, computer software applications, telecommunications, and distance learning technologies.
