Project Summary:
This project will focus on the use of online learning to build the capacity of the School of Education to provide quality graduate education to students who need the course but who for a variety of reasons may not be able to take it in class. In addition it will provide a model that will enable school administrators and faculty to integrate technology into the curriculum to meet accreditation standards. All curriculum materials created will be in alignment with the CA state standards for School and Mental Health Counselors and the accreditation requirements of WASC. The course will adhere to best practices for building online courses in creation of online content, learning activities, assignments and assessments. The project will offer policy and procedural recommendations to School of Education Administration for development of additional courses that will be comparable to courses offered in the traditional format.
