Projects for “Using Technology to Enhance Learning” Course

Assignment	Description
Semantic Networking	In this assignment, you will learn about what semantic networks are, how they support knowledge construction, and then develop your own complex and complete semantic network in a discipline area of your choice.
Learning Communities	In this assignment, we will focus on how learning communities are established. This assignment will consist of six web forums on different topics related to learning with technology.
Information Search Project	The Internet can either be an information landfill or a window of discovery, depending on how skilled learners are with searching and evaluating its contents. This assignment focuses on those skills.
Flexibility Hypertext	In this project, you will construct a hypermedia learning environment in html for your students to learn with. The learning environment will be designed based on cognitive flexibility theory. It will present 2 or more cases or problems for students to solve that can be explored from multiple perspectives in order to help students to articulate their own understanding.
Technology Integration Plan	In this project, you will develop a plan to use technology in integrated and constructivist ways for a unit of study that you plan on teaching.
Assessment Plan	In this final assignment, you will develop assessment rubrics for the technology assignments that you described in your technology integration plans.
