Dual Purpose of the Course

1. Digital Portfolios

EDU 7801 course is based on the premise that professional managers in both the private and public sectors cannot afford to ignore the Internet and its link to worldwide information systems. The central management challenge of the next century is how to use information technology to design and manage schools, school systems and social organizations effectively and efficiently. Internet website technology has become so vital to the management, organization and operation of organizations that they are too important to be left to technicians. A few years ago, this statement was not true.

2. On-line Research

Educational leaders are now expected to know the essential elements of a broad spectrum of leadership and educational theories related to successful practice. To develop an understanding of the principles of scientific inquiry and theory and to apply theories to successful administrative planning and decision-making is one of the essential characteristics of good practice. Thus, the intent of EDU 7801 is to present the principles and characteristics of scientific inquiry with an eye toward developing a research “toolbox” for practitioners.
