Just published today, Boise State’s research ezine—Explore—mentioned the EdTech Department twice.
Three new doctoral programs—including EdTech’s totally online Ed.D.—have been approved to further the university’s growing research agenda. Other new doc programs include campus-based Ph.D. programs in Materials Science and Engineering and in Biomolecular Sciences.
The big article, though, was a six-page feature on ground-breaking work by EdTech Associate Professor Lisa Dawley and doctoral student Chris Haskell in quest-based learning and virtual world simulations. Haskell, who teaches several sections of EdTech’s undergraduate course and co-teaches the Educational Games and Simulations course with Dr. David Gibson, said, “The point of this is to give students academic freedom to seek out their interests.”
