Design, development and delivery of Web-based instruction

The World Wide Web is becoming an increasingly popular medium for instructional delivery of distance education. Many colleges and universities are offering courses and complete programs of study via the web. This Graduate Project: Design, Development and Delivery of Web-based Instruction includes a brief review of the literature indicating the widespread use of the web in distance education in higher education. It reflects the current practice of web-based instruction in the UNI Educational Technology program. It documents the project including the process for establishing a new section of a currently developed course. It is the intention through this project report to present a model for future maintenance of web curricula in the Educational Technology program

Spimes, Prosthetics, and Identity

This is about how a future society, in which prosthetics have been normalized and we are surrounded by spime objects, might claim the ability to construct identities which are both personal and physical. We will operate by assuming that being human requires having a physical component, an operational entity. In other words, the “body” is a fundamental part of who we are as humans. The definition of “body” includes a physical identity that is also operational. Spimes are relevant because they allow people to be more involved in the process of “making.” They are developed using an open source model, made possible with an all-capable design tool, and are informed by the vast amount of information they make available. Prosthetics are the site for intervention because they propose a radical new relationship of object and human. For the first time, humans have created physical objects which must be internalized. As a result of constructing the body with spimes, we may unlock a future where the production of identities is made very accessible

AGED 539 Graduate Project

This internship report contains documented evidence required in meeting the quality criteria used to evaluate Community College Programs. These criteria were established by the Agriculture/Natural Resources Advisory Committee and are used to evaluate Community Colleges throughout California. In addition to documented evidence, the internship report also includes a special project on Program Effectiveness. The project created a degree qualification profile for the Agriculture Science and Technology degree at West Hills College, Coalinga which was approved by the DQPP committee at West Hills College, Coalinga. The DQP describes five basic areas of learning: Broad, Integrative Knowledge; Specialized Knowledge; Intellectual Skills; Applied Learning; and Civic Learning. Associates Degree DQP is as a framework for aligning institutional, program, and student learning outcomes, and for developing effective assessment strategies. The DQPP assists in the evaluation and revision of degree-level student learning outcomes for increased student achievement
