The focus of CEP 807 is on supporting each other's work in creating a capstone ePortfolio that showcases the excellent work done in working towards a masters degree. The goal is for each participant to create an enduring and useful web presence.
CEP 882 The Nature and Design of Compelling Experiences
Instructor: David Wong
Spring Semester 2010
An important goal of educators is to create compelling learning experiences for their students. This course teaches one to create lessons that mean more than catching and holding their attention, more than eliciting gasps and laughter. The course is about moving the students to see, feel, and respond in new ways. We all have an intuitive sense and first hand knowledge of what compelling experiences are. The purpose of this course is to help one develop a better understanding of compelling, educative experiences.

*The content of my MSU coursework was completed between 2007-2010. My educational technology skills have further developed since completion of the coursework. This was one of the first websites that I created using the NVU program, along with a domain that I purchased. I feel that it is interesting to look back on this site to view how far my technology skills have developed. If you would like to view my coursework please click here.
