CI 484: Learning Technologies (CI 484) Same as EPOL 483 and HRD 472. See HRD 472.

EOL 567: Program Planning & Evaluation (EOL 567) Introduces students to school district leadership expectations in program planning and evaluation, highlighting leaders? responsibilities to utilize the program evaluation cycle to improve teaching and learning, and assuring that schools and districts meet state and national accountability standards. Topics include planning educational programs, monitoring and evaluating program effectiveness, and reaching decisions related to continuing, restructuring, or terminating programs based upon empirical evidence collected through the program evaluation process. Same as EPOL 567. 4 graduate hours. No professional credit.

EPOL 483: Learning Technologies (EPOL 483) Addresses two important needs of educators. First, educators should be aware of recent developments in the area of instructional technology. Second, educators must be able to select, develop, and effectively use appropriate instructional technologies to enhance learning and communication. To meet these needs, this course covers a wide range of instructional technologies that are used for instructional and administrative purposes. Traditional instructional media are considered in the course although significant emphasis is placed on more recent developments that involve the use of the computer and its applications in education. Instructional technologies such as computer-based instruction, computer-based testing, distance learning, interactive video, and intelligent instructional technologies are covered. Through course readings, discussions, and projects, students in the course are expected to gain skills in choosing appropriate instructional technologies, designing effective presentations that rely on those technologies, and properly using instructional technologies to enhance communication with an audience. Same as HRD?472. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours.

EPOL 567: Program Planning & Evaluation (EPOL 567) Same as EOL 567. See EOL 567.

EPOL 571: Advanced Theories in Human Resource Development (EPOL 571) Provides a reading of advanced texts related to Human Resource Development from a variety of applied social science disciplines. Targeted towards doctoral students in the later stage of their course work who are interested in HRE theory and social science foundations.

EPOL 594: Program Evaluation (EPOL 594) This course examines models and methods of evaluating programs, processes, and products in broadly-defined organizations situated in various operational contexts (eg., education, business, government, NGO). Particular emphasis is given to topics of formative and summative evaluation, frameworks for program evaluation, quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, communicating and reporting evaluation findings, and the ethics and standards of evaluation practice. The underlying philosophy of the course is that evaluation can be the catalyst for organizational learning to facilitate intended changes, especially when initiated by those in training and organization development positions.

EPOL 598: Internship in Education Policy, Organization and Leadership (EPOL 598) Supervised direct experience in the administration of higher education. With the aid of the faculty, students select the internship relevant to their career goals.

ERAM 556: Program Evaluation (ERAM 556) Examines models and methods of evaluating programs, processes, and products in broadly-defined organizations situated in various operational contexts (eg., education, business, government, NGO). Particular emphasis is given to topics of formative and summative evaluation, frameworks for program evaluation, quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, communicating and reporting evaluation findings, and the ethics and standards of evaluation practice. The underlying philosophy of the course is that evaluation can be the catalyst for organizational learning to facilitate intended changes, especially when initiated by those in training and organization development positions.

HRD 472: Learning Technologies (HRD 472) The course addresses two important needs of educators. First, educators should be aware of recent developments in the area of instructional technology. Second, educators must be able to select, develop, and effectively use appropriate instructional technologies to enhance learning and communication. To meet these needs, this course covers a wide range of instructional technologies that are used for instructional and administrative purposes. Traditional instructional media are considered in the course although significant emphasis is placed on more recent developments that involve the use of the computer and its applications in education. Instructional technologies such as computer-based instruction, computer-based testing, distance learning, interactive video, and intelligent instructional technologies are covered. Through course readings, discussions, and projects, students in the course are expected to gain skills in choosing appropriate instructional technologies, designing effective presentations that rely on those technologies, and properly using instructional technologies to enhance communication with an audience. Same as CI 484 and EPOL 483. 3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours.

HRD 575: Innovation in E-Learning (HRD 575) Designed to provide an in-depth look at ongoing innovations in Web-based electronic technologies that can be used to deliver e-Learning content and to enhance learning experiences in e-Learning environments. Students will acquire and synthesize advanced content knowledge and critically review research on ongoing innovations that are integrated with targeted content in today's eCommunication and e-Learning environments.

HRD 585: Program Evaluation (HRD 585) Same as EPOL 594. See EPOL 594.
