CI 210: Introduction to Digital Learning Environments (CI 210) Surveys the field of digital environments and their capacity to support teaching and learning. Examines theories of interactivity, immersion, learning with multi-media, and digital literacies to discuss and evaluate various digital environments. Students learn to critically assess digital environments and to create original prototypes that target a specific and important learning or teaching goal. Environments that will be discussed and experimented with in class include virtual worlds, social networks, digital classrooms, interactive exhibits, video games, and tangible technologies.

CI 437: Educational Game Design (CI 437) Examines the role that physical and digital games play in learning. Focuses on how people learn through play and how game structures support educational outcomes. Principles of game design are described and students apply them to the design of original games with a specified educational objective. Students learn to prototype, playtest, and evaluate the educational content of games. Surveys and samples games in the areas of serious games, persuasive games, games for impact, etc.

CI 439: Critiques of Educational Technology (CI 439) This course will critically examine the social, pedagogical, cognitive, and political impact of implementing technology in educational contexts. We will survey various perspectives critical of educational technology in an effort to clarify its actual and potential value. The course will review papers and other works skeptical of educational technology as a whole, as well as research questioning specific initiatives such as mass distribution of computers in schools, data analytics, MOOCs, intelligent tutors, virtual reality, etc.

CI 556: Learning and the Body (CI 556) This course explores how body movement and physical engagement with the environment is connected to how people learn. We will explore embodied cognition and related ideas from philosophy, cognitive science, the learning sciences, the arts, etc., and apply them to educational contexts. The course will examine the ways that body activity has been employed in curricula and other learning interventions, and we will discuss new technologies that can respond to gestures and other embodied actions.

CI 590: Seminar for Advanced Study of Education (CI 590) Seminar for graduate students on specific topics.
