Educational Technology Course Logistics
The key word in your educational technology course is flexible. As you work through the course modules, many techniques and options will be presented. No one would have time to study all of these materials in depth in one course. Do not feel overwhelmed, therefore, if it seems like there is a lot of material here. There is, but the purpose is to enable you to pick and choose the tools and techniques most useful to your project's goals. If you find that you need more time to master the course content, there are more courses you can take to continue working in this environment.
Computer Accounts
Every University of Delaware student automatically receives an e-mail account. You should visit www.udel.edu/network to manage your password, username, and quotas.
Multimedia Computer
To complete the hands-on computer assignments, each student will need access to a multimedia computer (Windows PC or Macintosh) that is connected to the Internet via the latest version of either Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Computer Sites
All students registered in this class have the option of using the multimedia PCs and Macs in the campus computing sites. Because these are public, anything you save on the hard drive will probably not be there when you visit the lab again. You should therefore bring a USB drive, CD-R, or diskette to save your work between sessions. Please note that the use of the campus computing sites is totally optional in this course. If you have your own multimedia PC and Internet connection, you may never need to use the campus computing sites. For information on all the campus computing sites, use www.it.udel.edu/computingsites to link to the general access site schedule.
