EDCI 569 & EDCI 572 are offered from the Faculty of Education’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the Educational Technology area. This is an online course and can be completed without attending a face-to-face class session on campus. However, we will meet synchronously online on a weekly basis to have conversations about the course, offer support, and build social relationships. Also, since this course site is open on the web (with a few things behind passwords for privacy), anyone may follow along and participate as much as they desire.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your instructor.
