Instructor Information

David Lyons, MLIS

Office Hours: online and by appointment only

Course Description

Analysis, evaluation, and production of research in instructional technology. Methods for observing instruction, assessing learning, and collecting participants reports to improve instruction. Development of recommendations for action based on research findings.

Canvas and the Canvas Mobile App

Canvas works equally well with the latest two versions of the "big four" browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari andIE/Edge.

The Canvas app (iOS or Android) is great for accessing content on the go.

Assignments and Due Dates

The list of all assigned work and their due dates can be found on the course Syllabus in Canvas, accessible on the web or via the mobile app. These items will also appear in your Canvas Calendar, and on the Todo list. I recommend against printing this syllabus as the due dates in Canvas will always be the correct ones (and it saves paper!)

Course Communication and Community

I can be reached most easily by using the Canvas Inbox. However, I prefer that you use the virtual office discussion board to ask non-personal questions, so everyone can benefit. I will rely on Canvas' built-in announcements and discussion board tools to communicate with you. I will trust you to set up your Canvas notifications appropriately so that you can be aware of these messages.Policies

Plagiarism Detection & Proctoring

The instructor has the right to use plagiarism detection software to check papers suspicious of plagiarism. This includes, but may not be limited to: Turnitin, Ecree or Proctorio. All students agree to the use of plagiarism detection and proctoring software by the course instructor. Any student may elect to drop or withdraw from this course before the end of the drop/add period if they do not agree with the use of this type of technology for the sole purpose of upholding the academic integrity of this course.

Honor Code

As members of the academic community, students are expected to uphold certain standards, which include abiding by state, civil, and criminal laws and all institutional policies and standards of conduct. These standards assist in promoting a safe and welcoming community.  The full Student Code of Conduct can be found on the institution website.
