Abstract

The purpose this article is to discuss the redesign of an intro-ductory education technology course required for all teacher education students at a midwestern university. Challenges that prompted the revision are discussed and redesign re-quirements established by the College of Education Technol-ogy Advisory Team are identified. A traditional lecture/labo-ratory introductory course was redesigned resulting in a course with technology instruction delivered through video-tape. The redesigned course kept features from the traditional lecture/laboratory course including the use of professional society standards as a basis for content, electronic mail for instructor-student communication, and the employment of undergraduate students for technical support in computer labo-ratories. Comparisons of student perceptions related to content, delivery, and time involved in the traditional and redesigned courses are reported. A discussion of research findings, course trends, and recommendations are included.
