The 20-year-old ITEC program needed upgrading to meet the paradigm shift in new technologies and global education that its students would enter on graduation. Cultural and social justice issues have been the mission of the University for 40 years and that dimension of media literacy education was missing from the ITEC curricula. Researchers found that introducing techniques of gamification, heutagogical methods, and universal design for learning principles into their online and blended-learning courses provided a way to help students personalize their learning experience and interact more engagingly with each other, and to master the media literacy skills being taught.

Specifically, we discuss gamification strategies for two fully online courses and what we are learning about their influence on student motivation and success.

Linking Learning to Life project. Recent evidence suggests that students do learn and are more engaged in learning experiences that integrate technology, are project-based, and incorporate community and real-world activities. In 1997, North Dakota rural schools faced increased closures, reduced budgets, and a lack of quality teachers. To meet these challenges, NatureShift proposed to deliver technology access and curricular-based instructional ...

We have developed a model that integrates Web 2.0 technologies into an instructional portal that provides professional development to teachers in real-time while giving students engaging learning experiences. We are currently developing the prototype design for testing the technical and pedagogical issues for in-school use of social networking for learning.
