IED 523 - Technology for Curriculum Development and Supervision

This course examines the impact of technology and information on the design and supervision of curricula. Special emphasis will be placed on maximizing benefits and seizing the opportunities created by innovative applications of technology and information (such as Atlas Rubicon & similar programs). This course explores different technologies that support curriculum development and worldwide curriculum collaboration. The course also guides students to explore and evaluate specific technology tools that fit their or their colleagues’ subject curricula. The course will also emphasize the supervision element-how can technology be leveraged to train and evaluate staff in curricular and other areas? Students will be involved in using technology to accomplish simulated or real-life curricular training of other educators and to implement educator self-reflection, evaluation, and ongoing re-training and professional development.
