Educational Theme Park

 

As part of the EDTC 805 Cross-Discipline Studies course, Doctoral students created educational theme parks modeled after theme parks like Disney World and Epcot Center.  Each technology driven park has five learning activites that focus on a topic of choice for either students or staff members.  Theme parks were influenced by required readings such as Design for How People Learn by J. Dirksen.  Please take a moment to visit each park, and enjoy your techno-learning experience!
