| Required/Recommended Readings | Required Textbooks: Smaldino, S. E., Lowther, D. L., & Russell, J. D. (2008). Instructional technology and media for learning (8th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Education. Recommended Textbooks: Roblyer, M. D., Edwards, J., &Havriluk, M. A. (1997). Integrating educational technology into teaching (2nd ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall. Mayer, R. E. (2001). Multimedia learning. Cambridge University Press. Additional Readings: The “Reading Pack” is available upon request from the instructor. Where to buy/find the required textbook? There will be 3 copies of the required textbook at the university library. Learners may also buy the required textbook by ordering from Çağlayan Bookstore or Pearson Education Publications (contact info: ErkanGürdal, erkan@caglayan.com; AtillaAkbaşatilla.akbas@pearson.com). | ||||||||||||||||||
| Teaching Methods | Flipped Classroom model will be used while teaching Instructional Technology and Materials Design for Teaching. Learners will gain first exposure to new course material outside of class, usually via reading or watching lecture videos/audios, and then class time will be used to assimilate that prior theoreticalknowledge through classroom discourse. Learners will access key Instructional Technology and Materials Design for Teaching content individually or in small groups prior to class time, generate their questions, underline the points that they find most difficult or hardly understand, and then meet face-to-face in the larger group with similar misunderstandings to explore content through active learning and engagement strategies. Learners will take the responsibility of their own learning, and study core content either individually or in groups before class and then apply mathematical knowledge and skills to a range of activities using higher order thinking. Lecturing is still important but there will be a greater focus on gaining significant learning opportunities through facilitating active learning, engaging learners in the use of language, guiding learning, correcting misunderstandings and providing timely feedback, etc. In the Flipped Classroom setting, there will be a greater focus on concept exploration, meaning making, and demonstration or application of knowledge face-to-face. Learners are expected to watch the relevant week’s video/audio before attending to the class, and track their progress toward fulfilling the requirements of the course. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Homework and Projects | The course requires the comprehension of the arguments and a careful reading of the lecture notes, the textbooks, and the reading pack provided by the instructor. It should be noted that an important part of the homework assigned is reading the requiredchapters/articles in the reading pack. This is a study habit that many learners are not accustomed to, but is essential to thoroughly understanding the course. Learners should attempt to read all of the chapters, and regularly keep in touch with the instructor about questions that they cannot understand. Homework will not be graded or corrected. Learners are strongly recommended to have the suggested textbook in order to fully understand the course and successfully understand the core ideas underlying instructional technology and multimedia learning. In addition, learners are strongly recommended not to miss any of the practice hours as a substantial percent of the assignments will be about the electronic media covered in at the computer lab. | ||||||||||||||||||
