EDPY 480: Learning with Technology (Rev. C1) Report a Broken Link

In Educational Psychology 480: Learning with Technology, students will examine how technology can be used in grade school and post-secondary instruction. Specifically, you will learn about how students can use technology to engage in meaningful learning. The main goal of the course is for you to develop your understanding of educational technology through the completion of a course project. This project will be based on an authentic educational context and learning problem of your choice. You will aim to solve this learning problem by designing three lessons that make appropriate use of technologies for learning. You will also be required to report on one of these lesson designs.
