This Institute introduces 21st Century web-based technology that is used in educational settings, evaluates the validity of these applications and explores the concept of new literacies. Students will research, discuss, analyze and examine these technologies along with the practices that have sprouted up around and because of them. We will also interrogate the way that these technologies and their requisite literacies have changed, are changing and will change the nature of institutional instruction. In addition, we will investigate the policy ramifications that arise from the existence of these technologies and the literacies that they require. In short, we are going to study NT&L (new technologies and literacies) by using them, reading about them, writing about them and then synthesizing our new knowledge of them into a web 2.0 multimedia research project. This is a blended course, taught on campus and online. It is suitable for students at the Masters, CAGS, or Doctoral level.
