Program Change:
P00122
Program Title: MSEd Information Technology
Graduate
Describe the proposed degree program change(s) in terms of how the changes differ from the program as currently approved and published in the latest WOU catalog (specify the latest catalog date).
This program is being updated to reflect new courses being taught in Education. The following changes are being made:
Drop Ed 612 Quantitative Research
Add Ed 633 Research and Writing
Drop Ed 646 Philosophy of Education
Add Ed 632 Cultural, Social, and Philosophical Issues in Education
Drop Psy 620 Learning and Memory for Instruction
Add Ed 611 Theories of Teaching and Learning
Add a new Portfolio option as one of the exit options
Required courses: CSE 604 Portfolio and CSE 619 Big Thinkers in Educational Technology
Description is included as an attachment to the Program Change Proposal.
Correct the program to allow Exit options of:
Thesis, Professional Project, Comprehensive Exams, and Portfolio
In catalog, change the Electives: Educational Technology section to read:
21 credits Computer Science Education (CSE) courses selected in consultation with adviser
6 credits of Exit electives selected in consultation with adviser
Please see the attached program plan and comparison chart.
Describe the reasons for making this change:
These changes are being made to align the MSEd Information Technology Ed core classes with new MSEd Ed core classes (these substitutions were made in the MSEd program in 2007). The change in the Exit electives wording reflects the possibility for students to choose from the standard MSEd exit options rather than being restricted to only the Professional Project and adds a new Portfolio option that aligns more appropriately with the career goals of some students in the program.
For Dean Review only:
How and when will the effectiveness of these changes be determined?
An exit survey and 2-year out surveys will be conducted. An advisory committee made up at least one school district technology coordinator, WOU faculty, and program advisors will review the data and report suggested changes.
