ECI 617 - Foundations of Instructional Technology: Aims and Possibilities

It is my purpose to help you become well versed in the field of IDT and confident in your abilities to organize, develop and teach using media.

Each student will begin this semester by developing a plan for their learning to be carried out during the semester. This plan will result in a contract between you and I. It should specify the following:

• The course requirements (which I will provide)
• Your adaptation of those requirements to your needs
• The products you will produce to accomplish learning
• How those products should be assessed
• What you want from me and ODU in terms of resources and support

I understand that learning contracts are usually not a part of institutional education, and this may well be the first time you have had to create such a plan. As such, I will provide a guide to filling out this plan, and we will review it many times over the semester.

A nice introduction to learning contracts may be found at http://www.dmu.ac.uk/~jamesa/teaching/learning_contracts.htm.

The creation of a learning contract will begin in the first class meeting.
