AGED 520V.002 (3 hrs)
Special Topics: Computer-based CDEs
Instructor: Dr. Leslie Edgar (ledgar@uark.edu)

This course is designed to assist agricultural science teachers and other professionals in designing electronic curriculum materials, including career development events (CDEs). The emphasis throughout the course will be to apply teaching and learning theory in the development of instruction delivered through electronic media. The goal of the course is not to make course attendees experts in "programming" or "theory," but rather to prepare them with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to deliver curriculum through a variety of electronic methods. This course will give course attendees the opportunity to develop electronic curriculum and CDE materials that may be used time and time again. Attendees will prepare electronic CDE instructional modules they can use with their students.
