IET 120 Technology Systems (3-0-3): I,II,III. Prerequisite: Pre-college curriculum. An introduction to major areas of technology, including biotechnology, CAD, construction, graphics, manufacturing, telecommunication, and transportation systems.

IET 120 is offered as an elective course in the Practical Living category of the General Education curriculum.

1. To function responsibly in the natural, social and technological environment. Students will use scientific theories, technological tools, resources and processes to design, build and analyze hands-on project in order to understand costs, benefits, advantages and limitations of living in a technological world. Students will be required to apply knowledge of basic mathematics, physics and other disciplines to solve technological problems.

2. To locate, select, organize and present information efficiently. Students will be required to locate, retrieve and organize information from various disciplines to be used in written and /or oral presentations. Students will also be required to use electronics media in order to gather and communicate relevant information.

3. To think and reason analytically,

Students will grasp systems theory to analyze technological issues and their impact on people, society, resources and environment. Using a scientific/technological design process, students in a group or individually will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

1. To communicate accurately and effectively. Students will be required to write papers and/or give oral presentation, answer open-ended questions, participate in class discussions and communicate via electronics media.
2. To make informed and ethical value decisions. Students will be provided with information regarding contemporary technological issues and participate in classroom debated to help them make informed decisions.
3. To develop life skills.

Students will be required to apply principles of mathematics, physics and other disciplines to solve technological problems. Focusing on major areas of technology (communications, manufacturing, transportation and construction), students will develop an understanding of how technology can be used to promote human potential.

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will have gained the following competencies:

1. Use technological tools resources and processes to design, build, analyze real-life projects and solve technological problems.
2. Locate, collect, organize and present information from various disciplines in written and oral format.
3. Use electronics media in order to communicate information.
4. Analyze technological issues and make informed decisions.
5. Solve problems in groups and individually.
6. Apply principles of mathematics, physics and other disciplines to solve real-life problems.
7. Develop an understanding of how technology is used to promote human potential.

      Course Outline

Ron Spangler - Office: Lloyd Cassity 105B - Phone: 2432 - Office Hours: Tu., Wed. 3:00-5:30, F1 9:10-10:10

Course Description: CTE 372/392. Methods in Instructional Technology/Technical Media Development (3-0-3). Introduction to instructional design and technology in education and training. Students will learn to make linear and interactive presentations of lessons or training. Examples of activities include scanning, capturing video, and narration. Knowledge based on research findings on using technology in education and training is paramount in the beginning of the class.

Attendance Policy: Students are expected to be online a couple of times asynchronously during the week. From your schedules, I will attempt to find some times that we can all meet synchronously online once or twice. We can even meet during the weekend for an hour a couple of times if everyone agrees—maybe Sunday after church. I expect all of you to complete the assigned work every week. Modules for the class activities will be open for two weeks on an overlapping basis. This will give everyone the opportunity to complete all activities for each module on time. On forum discussions, I expect everyone to participate within a 48 hour period. On a topic of significant importance or interest to everyone, we could try the synchronous meeting spread over an hour or so. I will always send email through blackboard to alert everyone when a forum is up and assignments have been made—discussions, readings, writings, presentations, projects, etc. It is imperative that you have your correct email on Blackboard as you sign in.

Accessibility Policy: In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all qualified students enrolled in this course are entitled to reasonable accommodations. It is the student’s responsibility to inform the instructor of any special needs before the end of the 2nd week of class.

Advisement for students with physical or learning disabilities is provided through the Center for Academic Services in 214 Allie Young Hall. Phone (606) 783-5188, Accommodations for Students with Disabilities.

Objectives of the course:

• - list six contributions of instructional technology to the instructional process
• - briefly discuss designing for instruction
• - list the steps of an instructional design plan
• - discuss generalizations from learning theories that are important to instructional technology
• - discuss research findings from studies on instructional technology concerning:

• - use a digital camera and import picture into presentation
• - list the correct lettering sizes for projected and non-projected visuals
• - record sound and import to presentation
• - record narration and import to presentation
• - record video and capture for presentation
