LSE 595A Special Topics in Learning Sciences: Effective Teaching in E-Learning Environments

This course helps PK-12 teachers design courses, lesson plans, and other learning experiences that include remote learning and other technology-based elements based on existing resources. The course introduces ISTE Standards for Students as a frame of reference for studying their own students’ developmental levels in educational uses of technology for learning. The course facilitates teacher development of a defined Problem of Practice describing their own learning environment, student characteristics, and school-based technology resources, accentuating strategies for teaching effectively in low-resource, high needs environments. With NLU faculty support, teachers produce a personalized teaching-and-learning plan and instructional unit to optimize student e-learning in challenging circumstances. Pre-requisite(s): None.
