HRE 472 - Learning Technologies

HRE 472, Learning Technologies, was the fourth course in the M.Ed. program, and focused on finding and justifying the usage of learning technologies, as well as Web development. Learning theories had to be considered, linking this course back to the prior courses, while continuing to introduce new materials such as cognitive load theory. This course required a variety of assignments, including a weekly blog, discussions, analysis of case studies, an end-of-course reflection, and the final project -- a Web page called the Web-based Learning Technology Repository.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

• Propose learning technology solutions based on cognitive load theory and the 4C/ID model.
• Identify suitable learning technologies for intended learning outcomes.
• Justify the selection of learning technologies according to sound theoretical frameworks and practical applications for solving organizational problems.
• Demonstrate basic Web design skills.
