Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

A doctoral-level survey of major scholars, theories and technological contributions shaping the field of educational technology and learning design. This offering focuses on the interdependence of perspectives on knowing, learning, teaching and design, and the use of technology to support these processes.

COURSE DETAILS:

The overall goal of this doctoral seminar is to a) offer a survey of theories and methodologies related to learning design and technologies, b) help doctoral students apply the knowledge they have gained in various content and methods courses in the program to their own dissertation research and to professional activities, and c) examine the trajectory as well as the current status of research in learning design and technologies. Specific learning outcomes of the course include developing: i) scholarly perspective on key issues in the field of learning design and technologies, ii) analytic capacity to critically review research literature, including the critique of research design and methodologies and the logical synthesis and presentation of literature, ii) a solid grasp of assumptions and perspectives in designing research in the field, and iv) the ability to articulate a coherent and meaningful research question for your dissertation research, and v) requisite capacities for professional conduct as a doctoral student, academic, and researcher.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
