This course represents the capstone of the instructional technologies strand of the program. Teachers will learn the design, production and implementation of fully interactive learning technologies. Various multimedia authoring tools will be discussed and their capabilities assessed for differing educational purposes and technological feasibility in the teacher's current school situation. Principles of instructional design, use of multi-sensory communication, techniques of story boarding and the use of interactive simulations in science and math education modules will be covered. Participants will gain hands-on experience with an advanced multimedia authoring tool as well as the preparation of a variety of media-graphics, animation, sound, and video. The final project will be the creation of a multimedia learning module which the teacher brings back for use in the classroom and/or on the World Wide Web. When Offered: Summer term. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Participants will study teaching and learning beginning with reflection on their own pedagogical practices and leading to an examination of perspectives on learning offered by developmental psychology, cognitive science, and interactional sociology. Students will refine their skills in analyzing social situations and diagnosing their student's understanding and misunderstanding. A course project will involve students in comparing teaching and learning across a range of interactions, teaching contexts including their own classes, and interactive multimedia learning environments. When Offered: Summer term. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
The course will emphasize the application of basic cellular and physiological principles to human and higher mammalian organisms. An introduction to the neural, sensory, circulatory, renal, respiratory, and hormonal systems will be included with an emphasis on the control and integration of these systems. The course format will include lecture and workshop activities with emphasis on the use of technology to enhance classroom experiences. When Offered: Summer term. Credit Hours: 3

An introduction to a variety of ways to study the environment, especially through the cooperation of the humanities and the sciences, including both the social and the natural sciences. The course addresses the issue of sustainability by assessing the scale of human activities in relation to natural processes. Topics such as carrying capacity, social structure, biodiversity, energy, climate change, emergent diseases and social justice will be considered. When Offered: Summer term. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of biochemistry including the structure of proteins and protein complexes; mechanisms, kinetics, energetic, and regulation of enzymatic reactions; structure of lipids and cellular membranes; and introduction to metabolic pathways emphasizing carbohydrate metabolism. Taught in studio format which includes a mix of lectures, student use of computer-based interactive tutorials, and informal student-faculty interactions. When Offered: Summer. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Course will describe the interactions at the molecular, cellular, and organ level of one or more biological processes, i.e., the immune response, antibody production, and cellular immunity. When Offered: Summer term. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
A discussion of some important chemical processes in the environment, both those that occur naturally and those that result from human activities. Chemistry of the atmosphere, of aqueous systems, and of soils and rock will be included. Examples of topics include the chemistry of important elements (examples are biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur; toxic heavy metals such as mercury and lead), nuclear chemistry of natural and anthropomorphic origins, chemistry of petroleum, plastics, and other organic materials. Credit Hours: 3
