EDUCATION
726 - In the
curriculum area of our masters program ED 726, MoTL, is an
online alternative course to ED 721,
Fundamentals of curriculum,
and serves as the fulfillment of the required curriculum component. The course is administered through the
CPS Continuing Education
at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens
Point and is totally administered online using D2L Program (Desire to Learn).
This program is used throughout the University of Wisconsin System. If you would like to substitute this course for ED 721
on your Masters' Plan, please contact the SOE graduate office at
715-346-4403 and ask for a change of plan form.
While both ED 726 and ED 721
deal with aspects of curriculum and instructional design and there are some slight
overlaps in content, they are very different courses so that you may take both
if desired.
The pages in this site were designed to
support concepts within my course, for those registered students IT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT to follow carefully
the sequential instructions, and course deadlines. Please also check the message board in your entry to D2L for changes and messages
pertaining to class.
