Adam Dastrup will be developing GEOG 1700-- Natural Disasters.
"Students taking this course will be introduced to the earth's natural disasters, the processes and energy sources that produce them, along with the spatial distribution and pattern of natural phenomena, while developing an understanding of the impact these phenomena have on human activity. Throughout the term, student will be involved in observing these phenomena by use of various media, archives, the Internet, and Podcasts. by chronicling the occurrences locally, nationally, and globally, students become aware of the dynamic nature of the earth, and the effect this has on the physical, economic, and personal/emotional aspects of their lives. they will discover the ramifications of these phenomena in their lives with an increased understanding of the necessity for preparation, if not prevention, should some type of natural disaster occur locally. Student will also develop an increased awareness of the financial and emotional toll that a headline really represents. All disasters are actually individual disasters. "
Mark Lye and Brenda Blocker will be working with Adam on the development of this exemplary course.

PTA 2200 Therapeutic Modalities
Diana Ploeger will be developing PTA 2200-- Therapeutic Modalities. She will be working with Ryan Hobbs and Carolyn Jacobson.
From her proposal:
"The purpose of the course is to lay a foundational knowledge of the therapeutic modalitites or physical agents typically used in physical therapy. The students will then implement the knowledge in the delivery of the modalities in a laboratory setting and, lastly, in a physical therapy clinic during a mentored internship.
to facilitate the students' acquisition and retention fo the course content, various learning tools will be utilized. It is the philosophy of the course author that the 'more the student manipulates the information, the better the retention.' Additionally, each student has a preferred learning style. By designing a variety of learning tools, utilizing different senses, students' opportunity for success is much greater."
She proposes using tools such as Articulate Presenter and Engage, Quia, StudyMate, Case Studies, Video, and Podcasting Media to deliver her content.
We wish her well on this project!
