EDIT 6788 Capstone
The purpose of this course is to bring together a student's graduate experience, culminating in a project; which demonstrates the individual's mastery of conceptual, content, and pedagogical skills in the field of instructional technology. In other words, students will demonstrate the integration of theory and practice related to content knowledge, consulting, instructional practices, and design strategies. Students will give a public demonstration of their culminating project at the end of the semester through an exhibit that includes a professional presentation supported with artifacts from their academic and professional experience. The exhibit will be supported by an academic paper that includes a literature review and full APA 6th formatting. The culminating project could consist of such things as an action research project, an exhibition, and/or a professional portfolio highlighting works in media, e-learning, distance learning, and design-based projects. Students will be assessed individually in their paper and exhibit.
