ODL-690 Master’s Project I4 semester credits
This is the first of a two-trimester course sequence in which students complete and submit a Master’s Project that: (a) identifies one or more theoretically or practically significant questions relevant to the student’s organization and/or the field of ODL; (b) critically reviews the literature and other resources with respect to theory and real-world examples relevant to their question(s); (c) where appropriate, integrates and builds on relevant models and practices; (d) proposes an organizational intervention project that contributes to our knowledge about their key question (s) and (e) describes a range of reasonable project outcomes and their implications, including a critical assessment of potential unintended outcomes. The course emphasizes rigor in the students’ work in terms of theory, inquiry, reflection and action.
