We are pleased to offer a series of professional development courses that are taught entirely via CD-ROMs and the Internet . Courses also includes modules that teachers may download and use in their own classrooms.
All courses are available in both semesters.
Teachers enrolling for non-credit professional development need not follow the Curtin semester calendar, but rather may start any course at any time. Many science teachers are attempting to exploit the advantages, and avoid the pitfalls, of using different types of multimedia in their classrooms. CD-ROMs, the Internet, commercial software packages and much more. The course then looks critically at a wide range of multimedia teaching packages and aids in the fields of general science, environmental science, earth science, astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics. While it provides links to a plethora of sites worldwide, dozens of specific packages and sources are examined in detail.
