Collaboration

Course Co-Teaching Experience

During the Summer of 2013, I assisted Dr. Lisa Heaton co-teach CIEC 534 Applications Software in the Classroom Curriculum.
The course was provided for Transition to Teaching students.
I was responsible for facilitating two modules: Copyright/Multimedia and Media Literacy.
This experience permitted me to gain insight into how online courses are taught and allowed me to gain experience with the BlackBoard grading center, particularly working with rubrics.
The experience also enlightened me to differences and similarities between college students and public school students in terms of personal responsibility and work quality.

During the Spring 2014 semester, a portion of the doctoral cohort group co-developed a distance education professional development course for Dr. Lisa Heaton's CIEC 715 Online Course Development and Delivery class.

It was a great experience that taught me about collaborating and online teaching and learning.
This experience was meaningful to me since I am a K-12 public educator and my colleagues and their students will benefit from modules we developed.

The professional development course titled CIEC 561 Wired for Learning will be offered during Summer 2014 and again in Spring 2015.

One of the major strengths of being a member of doctoral cohort program is the relationship building that occurs throughout the process.
We have grown academically during the past three years and have become friends as well as a cohort. The coursework has offered many opportunities for collaboration. The following documents and presentations represent key experiences that demonstrate true collaborative effort.
