Games and Simulations. 3cr. Online.

   -

   Taught by Vermont K12 teachers Sally Bisaccio and Michael Beardsley.
   -

   This fully online course will teach students how to begin to effectively
   use online games and simulations for teaching. Students will explore 3D
   worlds and become comfortable with their usage as educational tools. Using
   a learning management tool (Moodle) as our base for this course, students
   will explore Second Life and Jokaydia, but will also delve into game
   simulations like World of Warcraft and MinecraftEdu (a problem-solving
   creative sandbox world) for their educational values. Participants will
   create avatars, connect with online educational communities, and develop
   strategies for using 3D worlds in their teaching. This class meets fully
   online beginning May 12. We'll visit ​ Second Life's famous Virtual Ability
   Island (VAI) that assists those disabilities such as autism, cerebral
   palsy, Down’s Syndrome, and emotional trauma.

   Taught by: Lindsey Rothschild, coordinator of instructional design and
   support for Holyoke Community College.

   Description: How do we facilitate online learning so that students are
   optimally engaged and learning objectives are being met? Participants will
   integrate their knowledge of learning theory and instructional design to
   explore best practices for providing content to students online, engaging
   them in a vibrant learner-centered community and effectively evaluating
   their learning. Participants will discuss issues specific to courses that
   are online-enhanced, blended and fully online. Accessibility and learner
   support will be emphasized. Participants will utilize Moodle to create a
   learning module that integrates pedagogy with appropriate technologies to

   Learning (FOL) will itself be facilitated as a workshop where participants
   will take an active role in teaching each other and introducing topics of
   interest to the class.

   Description: This course prepares participants to lead change within an
   organization. The course brings students through a systematic approach to

Legal and Ethics. 1cr.

   -

   Taught by: Beth Ruane, Director of Marlboro College's Library.
   -

   Description: In this age of open access and unprecedented levels of
   connectivity, copyright, fair use, and intellectual property are still
   major issues and even hurdles we face, particularly in an educational
   setting. What do we as educators need to know as we go about pulling
   together course material? What do our students need to know as they
   complete research assignments? Topics will include legislation, guidelines,
   and best practices, and a variety of open access resources will be explored
   and evaluated.
