CI5392

In this course Learning Technologies M.Ed. students develop their final capstone project that signals the completion of their degree program. Students will identify a need or gap related to Learning Technologies in an area of interest to them and conduct preliminary research on that topic. Based on their research, students develop a proposal and turn the proposal into reality by building the project. Students will participate in a variety of discussions and scholarly readings, both instructor selected and those selected by students in support of their identified topics of research. A mini-cohort model of 2-4 students is used throughout the course for peer review and feedback. Peers become mini-experts in their partners' projects as they follow along in the design and development process and ask questions and offer feedback along with the instructor. Students will develop a completed project or prototype (e.g. course curriculum, training materials, website, software, mobile app, etc.) and a paper defending their project by discussing the research that informed their decisions, how those decisions were implemented, and how they expect the project to impact their work and/or field. The course culminates in a public presentation of their project via live or video conferencing with a Q&A session following.
