Description

The focus of this course is on the competence in the planning and management of a technology-based, project-driven learn-ing or communication environment. The special emphasis is placed on the characteristics of learning management systems (LMS) and related applications and tools. Students are also introduced to the basic hardware and networking concepts and troubleshooting techniques. Students design and implement a technology plan for evaluating and transforming an aspect of a learning environment. In evaluating their project they utilize observations, journals, and other data-collection strategies. They bring their project to closure with a written report on their research as well as an in-class presentation of the experience. The course may be also taken as an equivalent of GRIT 685 by those looking for ITS certification.
