Description

This course will explore, discuss, and build software related to current topics and trends in Educational Technology. You will work in teams on projects focused on helping people learn something. You will gain development skills that parallel real-world processes. You will be exposed to a broad perspective of issues related to the management of technology including feasibility and impact assessment, project planning, project implementation, testing, documentation, and roll-out. You will identify potential users, their needs, and the application's value through multiple iterations based on user and peer feedback.

This course will be very much student-directed, with most meetings student presentations and discussions of topics drawn from different areas of Education Technology or progress reports on projects. Additionally, you will be responsible for creating notes and links for each week's discussion.

This course is intended to be a capstone experience for Computer Science students and we expect you to have completed CompSci courses at the 300-level or higher. Specifically, you should have some prior experience on a substantial project in Computer Science, acquired through a project-based course, co-curricular/extra-curricular projects, research, or industry.
