Subject: Summer and Fall 2003 Course Scheduling Advice

Greetings to all ed tech graduate students at the University of Delaware!
I am writing to provide you with course scheduling advice for the upcoming
Summer session and Fall semester of 2003. As always, you should check with
your advisor each semester to confirm that your course selection is in 
line with your  particular program. This course advisory contains sections
for M.Ed. Students, M.I. Students, and Ed.D. Students, respectively.

                  ===Courses for M.Ed. Students=== 

All M.Ed. students are required to take 3-6 credits of the following
courses. EDUC 607 is being taught in the Fall of 2003. EDUC 600 and 
660 are not on the schedule at this time.

    EDUC 600 Teacher as Researcher 
    EDUC 607 Educational Research Procedures 
    EDUC 660 Applied Educational Measurement 

All M.Ed. students are required to take the following curriculum course, 
which is being offered during the Summer of 2003:

    EDUC 640 Introduction to Curriculum

From the ed tech specialty, all M.Ed. students must take the following two
courses that are being offered in the Fall of 2003: 

    EDUC 685 Multimedia Literacy 
    EDUC 632 Using the Internet for Curriculum Applications

Not appearing on the schedule just yet is a course that will be taught
by our new professor of instructional technology, Dr. Chrystalla Mouza. 
I will e-mail you soon as we determine the date and time. I urge all ed 
tech master's students to enroll in this terrific new course, which will
be offered in the Fall of 2003:

    EDUC 639 Cognition and Technology

If you need to take another ed tech elective in the Fall of 2003, you may
be interested in the following option. M.Ed. students may elect one of the
EDUC 885 courses to fulfill a 600-level technology requirement. In the Fall
of 2003, the following courses are being offered:

    EDUC 885-010 Advanced Topics in Multimedia Design
    EDUC 885-011 Technology and Literacy
    EDUC 885-156 Advanced Topics in Web Design

The advanced topics courses are repeatable, meaning that you are permitted
to take them again in a subsequent semester. You are strongly encourage to 
enroll first in EDUC 639, Cognition and Technology, however, before enrolling 
in the 885 courses.


                  ===M.I. Students===
