Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

A faculty-mentored workshop in which MEd students in Educational Technology and Learning Design produce a major new technology-enhanced learning design for a setting that interests them, to demonstrate their mastery of principles, ideas and skills acquired in the core courses. Students will have scheduled meetings with their instructor throughout the term to report progress and seek advice.

COURSE DETAILS:

Whole-class meetings will take place in person at SFU Surrey (Room SRYC3040) on the following days:

  • Wednesday, May 10, 4:30pm to 8:30pm
  • Wednesday, May 17, 4:30pm to 8:30pm

There will also be a whole-class meeting on Wednesday, August 2 starting at 4:30pm for presentations of your finished work. The modality of this session (in-person or via Zoom) is to be determined.

Each student will have four scheduled appointments with the course instructor (either via Zoom or if in-person at SFU Burnaby if preferred) througout the term to share progress milestones and receive feedback.

COURSE-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL GOALS:

Develop a new, original learning design of substantial scope, which demonstrates transfer of learning from at least three core courses in the ETLD Masters program.

Practice offering constructive critique of larger-scale learning designs with peers.

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/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

RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION

Students with a faith background who may need accommodations during the semester are encouraged to assess their needs as soon as possible and review the Multifaith religious accommodations website. The page outlines ways they begin working toward an accommodation and ensure solutions can be reached in a timely fashion.
