ED 308 Curriculum Design and Assessment for the e-Classroom

Cross-listed with CE 444. This course requires intermediate-level technology/computer skills (e.g., word processing, slide presentations, and basic video production). Curriculum theories, models, strategies, and concepts are addressed. This course focuses on the application and interpretation of theory, research and standards-based effective practices used to design, develop and evaluate distance and blended education experiences. Students will examine different aspects of online teaching (e.g. asynchronous communication, facilitation and feedback) based on research, critically evaluate existing social media and online resources, and apply their learning to online content design. Students will leave the course with a completed online course module that includes content specific activities and an understanding of how to create lessons and assessments that support student exploration of their individual curiosities, educational goal setting, management of learning and assessment of progress
