This course is prerequisite for several courses in the program. No previous design or development experience is required. The goal of this course is to provide students with a survey of the research literature and definitions of terminology central to the field. Special emphasis is on current and emerging learning science research and how it can be applied to the creation of technology supported learning environments.
Performance improvement methods include data gathering, analysis, change management, implementation, measurement and the integration of technology. Special emphasis is on current and emerging technology and how it can be applied to human performance improvement in education and the workplace.
