Course Overview and Expectations:
This course is designed to give participants the opportunity to learn technology skills and integration methodologies to enhance learning and increase productivity.

This is a two-credit graduate pass/fail course at UAA. Grades will be based on attendance and participation in all class sessions, and completion of the projects listed.

•Keep a learning log with notes and reflective comments about what you have learned in this class.
•Attend and participate in all class sessions.

Learning Logs:
We would like to hear your thoughts, and reflections on the material we cover in class. What is useful to you, what was new and exciting? Are there areas that frustrate you? What questions do you have?

Some people choose to work on this throughout the class including samples and notes as we go. Others choose to write several paragraphs at the end of each session reflecting on the content covered. We are looking for a personal reflection on what you have learned in this class and how you intend to use the skills you have learned in your work situations.
 
Learning Logs should be a minimum of one half page or more for each session of class. There will be two sessions each day (morning and afternoon). Learning logs should be emailed each day to the presenters of the sessions.

All learning logs are due no later than Friday, August 15, 2003.
