Updated+Course+Outline

​**Current Course Description**

Students will develop skills in using the tools of telecommunications to communicate and collaborate with others, access information, and apply their expertise in schools, classrooms, and graduate studies. Students will learn to use telecommunications responsibly and become articulate spokespersons on issues related to educational telecommunications and the changing role and nature of information. Course content also addresses the features of an effective Web site, the use of software tools to design, develop, and publish Web sites for educational use, ideas for incorporating Internet educational resources within the classroom and an introduction to using online course management systems.

(The online course management system thing is what I added as the Moodle pilot)
