  • MSTI 221: Data Analysis and Modeling

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    This course builds on students' prior mathematical and statistical experience to focus on the analysis of data through building models. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on understanding the models and using this understanding to inform decision-making. A significant aspect of the course is the use of appropriate, realistic technologies for the collection, analysis, and reporting of information. Central ideas in the course are asking questions that data can help answer; organizing and representing data to aid in analysis; analyzing data with mathematical tools; investigating the implications of the analysis, especially in terms of decision-making; and communicating clearly what has been done and what it means. Possible data analysis tools include pivot tables, multiple regression models (with categorical data and interaction terms), optimization, and simulations.

  • MSTI 231: Educational Computing

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    This course provides a unique context for future teachers to explore their own understanding of developing educational technology-driven methods of delivering content. Course content includes: Internet-based activity design and development, administrative uses of computing, software evaluation, distance collaboration, examining the relationship between theory and application of instructional technology methods, and generating an index of instructional technology activities. Students are encouraged to be creative, share work and expertise with their classmates, and provide suggestions and help for each other. The activities assigned are spread over several weeks so that students have ample time to develop deep and connected understandings of the process of educational technology development, as well as the method and effectiveness of content delivery. Prerequisite: MSTI 131 or web page authoring experience.

  • MSTI 260: Understanding Adaptive Technology

    3.00 Credits
    Saint John Fisher University

    The information age is revolutionizing education from the university to the earliest grade levels. At the same time, adaptive software and hardware hold the potential of reducing barriers to education for students with disabilities. Teachers need to know about these technologies. This course meets the needs of both the special education teacher and the discipline teacher as they work to prepare modified lesson plans to better facilitate the inclusion of students with disabilities. While the course has a focus on techniques used to overcome some of the special problems in the teaching and learning of mathematics and science, the learning of these techniques enables the teacher to overcome problems of access in other subjects. This course uses a variety of delivery systems including lecture, small-group problem-solving, hands-on work, and individual and group interactions over the Internet using distance-learning technologies. Cross-listed with EDUC 260. Prerequisite: MSTI 131.
