In order to succeed in this class, you should be able to answer yes to the following questions: Have you already fulfilled the foundational requirement for the program?Are you comfortable with writing several essays throughout the course of the class, including personal reflections, article responses, project proposals, and project reports? Are you comfortable with a class that requires significant participation via forum interactions and peer-to-peer feedback opportunities? Are you comfortable working in a group; or, alternatively, are you comfortable taking on a significantly-sized project on your own? Are you passionate about education, and ideally, do you already have some preliminary ideas regarding what tools you might like to build or questions you might like to research as part of this class? Are you comfortable with a class built on large, open-ended, student-driven projects rather than smaller, more narrowly-defined assignments and exams? Note that prior experience with EdTech is not required beyond your prior OMS coursework. Note also that because they project is very open-ended, you'll be able to define a project that is realistic within your technical qualifications. So, no specific programming knowledge is required. If you choose more of a research-oriented track, you may not need to do any programming at all.
