Catalog Description: Students will engage with technology common in the field of interpreting. They will learn how to use various technologies in their work as pre-professional and professional interpreters focusing on skill development, self-reflection, and actual service delivery via technology. |
|
Course Goal and Objectives: Upon completing this course, students will be able to: ¿ Identify various technological tools for communication across distances ¿ Use technology to create and assess individual work samples ¿ Assess the needs of a given situation and match appropriate technology to meet the needs of the scenario ¿ (Graduate) Develop goals for technological skill development to apply to their coursework and development as professional interpreters and future educators. |
|
Justification for adding the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): The MAIS is a distance program. After the first cohort has completed the program, we have determined that students need to develop a command for the use of technology in order to be successful in their coursework throughout the program. Undergraduate students in ASL/English Interpreting are also taking courses online, as well as sharing their work via video online. Thus, their need for a course that provides a foundation in technological resources. |
|
Faculty and facilities needed: None needed. |
