Ongoing Research Project

This project is focused on the development of entrepreneurship educational experiences for advanced graduate students in Curriculum &Instructional Technology. The drive behind this project is to offer a knowledge base and a set of skills and resources on entrepreneurship to a group of students who are interested in taking an entrepreneurial career path, which may include, start a business, pursue social entrepreneurship activities or refine processes such as innovativeness, creativity, risk taking, problem solving, leadership, resources management and leveraging.
The project addresses these three critical elements by aiming at the following objectives:

(1) To enhance a graduate course in Instructional Technology (CI 603: Advanced Instructional Systems Design) with entrepreneurship content by developing educational experiences in entrepreneurship that create value for students and communities;

(2) To develop a web-based portfolio on entrepreneurship experiences in Instructional Technology;

(3) To provide communities, organizations and individuals in Iowa with knowledge and skills on applying information and communication technologies in an effective way. This objective especially aligns with the outreach mission of the Center for Technology in Learning and Teaching (CTLT), one of the leading centers in technology in the College.
