Teamwork
Most of the courses
in the MSET program had specific projects that could fit under the theme of
teamwork, as we completed many group projects throughout our course of study.
However, I am going to narrow the theme down, by focusing on the courses dealing
with research, instructional design, and evaluation because I feel that they
particularly lend themselves to collaborative efforts in the workforce.
The following MSET goals were met under the theme of
Teamwork:
The MSET degree is an advanced degree designed to equip educators to be:
- Leaders in educational
technology;
- Current in teaching and
learning processes and practices;
- Current in research
technologies and designs;
- Knowledgeable of technologies
and programming skills;
- Knowledgeable of current,
technology-based educational tools and products.
The following MSET
objectives were met under the theme of Teamwork:
Graduates of the program will:
