600 level graduate course

Designing 21st Century Learning Environments provides the student with an understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities technology brings to the design of teaching and learning environments. The course will look at micro and macro-learning environments and guide students in understanding what makes learning environments successful. 21st century skills will be emphasized, in particular, if/how they differ from ‘20th century skills’ and the role they play in the job outlook of the 21st century graduate. While not specifically a technology course, specific tools will be demonstrated and utilized by students in order to exemplify the vast possibilities available to their students as they create their own learning. Collaboration, accessibility, motivation, and authentic learning will all be highlighted as important aspects in the creation of new systems of teaching and learning.
