EDUC 8306 - Effective College Teaching: Using Technology to Support Learning

(6 semester credits)

Technology is a tool that can support student engagement and the development of critical knowledge and skills. College educators must learn how to harness the growing number of new technologies for constructive use in diverse learning contexts. In this course, education professionals consider how to stay abreast of available technologies and related research as well as how to use these tools and research most effectively in face-to-face, hybrid, and online environments. Through a variety of contextual and application-based assignments, education professionals practice making critical decisions on when and how to implement technological solutions, how to assess the value of these tools for students in particular learning contexts, and how to maximize the power of technology for learning in a global environment.
