Course Description
This
course provides
an introduction to the management of instructional telecommunications
systems associated with educational and training programs. Issues include the
design, development, implementation and evaluation of those systems. Online
discussion, small group project-based work, and individual written assignments
are the major requirements of this course. Groups will collaborate
to develop and conduct a needs analysis and deliver a final telecommunications
report to a client.
Regular graduate courses require approximately 45 hours of class time over the
semester plus 3 hours of preparation time for each hour of class time. Lab courses
require 1 additional hour per week of lab time for each hour of class time (total
= 225 hours). This course is a lab course. You can expect to spend a total of
45 hours each week for 5 weeks on this class. Because the course is Web-based,
you can expect to spend even more time on this course than you would on traditional
courses.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, you should be able to:
Dates/Time/Location
The course is Web-based and begins on July 8, 2003. The only required class

- The course requires at least intermediate Internet skills (e.g., email, email attachments, chats, FTP, Web searches) because it is Web-based.
- The course requires as much time and effort as, if not more than, a traditional course.
Course Delivery
The course will be taught as a Web-based course using
WebCT-Vista and FirstClass. No other course website will be used.
