This capstone experience will provide students with the opportunity to explore, design, develop and reflect upon curriculum, software, or research that demonstrate their understanding of the concepts, skills, and theoretical framework of the Educational Technology program. This web-based course may be taken for two semesters without additional tuition, using an "In Progress" reported grade until complete. The student will be allowed a maximum of one year to complete the assignments after the first-time enrollment in the course.

Description: This course provides an environment for students to fully plan, design, produce, implement, and evaluate an instructional product. It is also designed to develop peer-review skills and utilize the expertise of other students in the class to support and enhance project development. Projects may or may not be research-oriented in nature, and may include, but are not limited to, those like the following:

  1. a web site that addresses the needs of students, parents, and educators in P-12 math education, with tutorials, information, and activities about state-mandated tests.
  2. problem-based social studies curriculum that models the integration of technology in the P-12 classroom setting, including materials and assessment strategies.
  3. interactive multimedia learning modules to assist ESL students with second-language skills, including vocabulary development, sentence structure, grammar, and effective paragraph writing

All materials must be appropriately organized and burned on two CD-ROMs following the student's defense presentation.
