This document outlines what is new and exciting for SPRING 2016! NEW CLASSES MHT 101: Mental Health Seminar PSY 208: Advanced Topics in Psychology - Forensic Psychology NEW FACULTY We have some new Faculty teaching in our Department this semester. Some of these folks are simply new to ME as I am now managing the course delivery for the Education programs.
A VERY special THANK YOU goes out to Addie Pelletier who is teaching the last course in our Speech and Language Pathology Assistant program. Addie has been instrumental in teaching out this program and we are in her debt for helping us with this program! RESOURCES Room 222 in the Averill building on the Alfond Campus is now a dedicated space with video recording equipment and editing computers. If you would like to record some lectures or presentations in your class, this room can be used. We are still working to set up some of the materials and to develop some training and orientation manuals, but the room is there. We will be holding meetings in this room as well. VALUE RUBRICS ASSESSMENT AND THE SPECIAL ASSIGNMENTS We are currently awaiting the development of standardized rubrics for the assessment of Essential Learning Outcomes. When these arrive we will be using them to do evaluation of our ELOs in all the programs in the Department. m-LEARNING INTIATIVE AND THE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM This Spring starts the m-Learning Initiative in the Mental Health program. We have adapted our courses to take advantage of the technologies available on the Apple iPad and now require that all our studnets own one. We have offset the cost of the iPad to students by adopting free and very inexpensive versions of our textbooks and other resources. We have incorporated over 80 separate apps into our curriculum across 11 MHT courses. We feel this will not only allow for a more engaged student/faculty experience but will also better prepare our graduates for the mobile-based work environment that awaits them.
