Course Description | Reflections |
|
COM/516
|
An introduction to strategies for academic success within the University of Phoenix adult learning model |
This course was
valuable in establishing a framework for functioning in the UOP
environment
|
|
EDTC/510
|
Learn approaches to distance education theory, interpret research associated with distance education theory, compare and contrast the different applications of distance education, and identify teaching strategies and media that promote effective learning in different environments |
I found this course
to be challenging on a personal level due to team assignments and having
to count on people who had very different standards of performance than
myself
|
|
EDD/511
|
Study adult learning as it relates to theories, principles and applications |
I thoroughly enjoyed
this course, as it's subject matter entailed training materials I use and
value
|
|
CUR/524
|
This course is designed to provide students with the instructional design skills to develop educational materials for adult learners |
This course validated
my intuitive planning processes and provided a wealth of information for a
adopting a more comprehensive structure
|
|
EDTC/526
|
Focuses on developing the skills necessary to become effective assessors of adult learning |
Information and
experiences in this course definitely helped me begin to imagine how I
could transform current strategies to implement in distance education
settings
|
|
QNT/540
|
Provides students with the research skills needed to discuss different sources of knowledge, develop problem and purpose statements, writing style, literature review, research design, data collection, and data analysis |
What can I say?
I love this stuff! It gave me a better sense of what I can do when
using SPSS
|
|
EDTC/550
|
Introduces the fundamentals of computer systems and the role of information processing in today's business environment |
This is the point
that I recognized (and began scheduling) longer breaks between classes to
incorporate changes to current courses I teach to be more effective
|
|
EDTC/555
|
Explores the methodologies in comparing and selecting distance education delivery platforms; and focuses on effective instructional strategies in asynchronous and synchronous delivery |
This is where courses
began to go beyond my breadth of knowledge. For the first time I
thought I may not be able to complete my work in UOP's time frame
|
|
EDTC/560
|
This course examines different elements of multimedia and applies them to presentation solutions ranging from Microsoft Power Point to Web pages, integrating multimedia into design |
This course is
stretching me well beyond my comfort zone with technology. I am
already able to apply more than I anticipated. My initial (while
rudimentary) success has me planning great visions for cyber
creations!
|
|
*EDTC/570
|
Compares and contrasts different approaches to courseware authoring |
Yet to be
determined
|
|
*EDTC/575
|
Students will study political and and cultural issues that impact education and its delivery through distance education modalities |
The end is so
near
|
|
*EDTC/590
|
This course is an exercise in practical
application of new knowledge learned to gain proficiency in course
construction and instruction
|
This is it!
|
* Indicates courses I look forward to taking :)
