CEP 800- Learning in Schools & Other Settings
Fall 2012
Instructor: D. Henrikson
Course Description: This course will acquaint students with several major psychological perspectives for appreciating learning that goes on in school and other settings. Students will also connect theories of learning to their own experiences as learners – inside this course, in other courses, on the job, and in other settings. By constantly examining the relationship between the ideas about learning introduced in this course and the learning situations in the students’ world outside of this course, students will find greater meaning and significance in both. We consider implications of these perspectives for practice, particularly the practice in your field.

CEP 813- Electronic Portfolios
Spring 2013
Instructor: Patrick Dickson
Course Description: Portfolios have a long tradition in education. In recent years the portfolio concept has broadened to encompass a range of meanings from a collection of elementary school children’s writings in a folder to more elaborate teaching portfolios prepared by preservice or inservice teachers. Most recently, the power of the portfolio concept has been amplified and extended further through the creation of “electronic portfolios” that are created and shared on the Web. The premise of this course is that electronic portfolios on the Web offer teachers and students an extraordinary new medium for self-expression and for creating a nation of writers, poets, and artists who gather authentic work over time and share it with a worldwide audience. In this course you will learn about the wide variety of meanings and applications of electronic portfolios in education. And you will apply what you learn by creating your own electronic portfolio on the Web.
