Subject: Summer and Fall 2004 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 2004. 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 2004. 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 and Fall of 2004:
EDUC 640 Introduction to Curriculum
From the ed tech specialty, all M.Ed. students must take the following
course that is being offered in the Summer and in the Fall of 2004:
EDUC 685 Multimedia Literacy
Our new professor of instructional technology, Dr. Chrystalla Mouza,
will be offering a terrific new course in the Fall of 2004:
EDUC 639 Theory and Practice of Educational Technology
The course description of Dr. Mouza's new course is:
The purpose of the course is to engage students in discussion and
analysis of selected contemporary theories, practices, problems and
policies in educational technology. Besides a common list of topics
and corresponding readings that will be prepared by the instructor,
students will identify readings related to their own interests. An
overarching objective of the course is to provide students nearing
graduation the opportunity to consider their final Master's exam or
paper. The purpose of the exam or final Master's paper/project is
to help students synthesize and apply what they have gained through
their coursework. Finally, the course will discuss several
profession-related topics such as major conferences and publications
in the field, doctoral programs in educational technology, and
professional development opportunities for educational technology
graduates.
There is also a wide range of ed tech electives that are being offered
as part of the Summer Institute. Of these, the following count as
ed tech specialization electives:
Offered in Newark:
EDUC 667-045 Implementing Middle School Mathematics Using Technology
EDUC 639-040 Internet Technologies
EDUC 646-910 Assistive Technology for Sec School & Workplace Settings

If you need to take another ed tech elective in the Fall of 2004, 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 2004, the following courses are being offered:
EDUC 885-010 Advanced Topics in Multimedia Design
EDUC 885-011 Current Issues in Ed Tech Research & Practice
EDUC 885-194 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, Theory and Practice of Educational Technology,
however, before enrolling in the 885 courses.
===Courses for M.I. Students===
All M.I. Students must take either EDUC 600 (Teacher as Researcher) or EDUC
629 (Psychology of Teaching). EDUC 629 is being offered in the Summer of 2004.

===Ed.D. Students===
All Ed.D. students are required to take EDUC 861 (Curriculum Development
and Evaluation) and EDUC 829 (Research on Teaching). Of these, EDUC 829
is being offered in the Fall of 2004.
Similarly, all Ed.D. students are required to take either EDUC 665, Elementary
Statistics or EDUC 856, Introduction to Statistical Inference. Both of these
are being offered in the Fall of 2004, and EDUC 665 is also being offered in

All Ed.D. students are required to take either EDUC 875, Introduction to
Educational Policy or EDUC 895, School Improvement Strategy. Of these,
EDUC 895 is being offered in the Fall of 2004.
All Ed.D. students are required to take two of the following courses; the
courses marked with *** are being offered in the Fall of 2004:
EDUC 812, Regression Models in Education
EDUC 851, Practicum in Qualitative Methods
***EDUC 862, Quantitative Issues in Educational Research
***EDUC 863, Principles of Program Evaluation

Last, but certainly not least, all Ed.D. students are required to take 18
credits of ed tech specialty courses. During the Summer of 2004, the
following course is being taught:
EDUC 885-040 Data-Driven Web Design
The following courses are being offered in Fall 2004:
EDUC 885-010 Advanced Topics in Multimedia Design
EDUC 885-011 Current Issues in Ed Tech Research & Practice
EDUC 885-194 Advanced Topics in Web Design
The advanced topics courses are repeatable, meaning that you are permitted to
take them again in a subsequent semester. Because the Current Issues course
is new, let me provide you with the course description:
The purpose of the Current Issues course EDUC 885-011 is to expose students
to selected contemporary theories and problems, research issues, and policies
in the field of educational technology. Besides a common list of topics and
readings that will be prepared by the instructor, students will identify
readings related to their own interests. An overarching objective of the
course is to familiarize doctoral students with the components and nature
of the qualifying exam, the EPP proposal, and EPP papers. Course assignments
are designed to help students conduct literature reviews in areas of interest
and develop proposals that would inform the direction of their EPP papers.
Finally, the course will discuss several profession-related topics such as
major conferences and publications in the field, sources that can support
doctoral work at UD, and writing for publication.
In the meantime, I hope you will all pass your final exams and projects with
flying colors and then enjoy a pleasant summer. Cheers, Fred
