Multimedia Lab College of Education and Human Services faculty and students have separate multimedia labs containing high-end computers, state of the art video production and editing equipment, sophisticated graphics equipment, as well as a production team to provide needed assistance and support. These partnerships also enable the WIU faculty and students to interact with K-12 teachers and students regarding the effective and appropriate uses of educational technologies. Field experiences begin in the sophomore year and gradually increase through the senior year. A minimum of 12 weeks of student teaching is completed during the senior year. Scholarships A number of scholarships are available to academically talented students through the department and College.
Scholarships are available for both undergraduate and graduate students.
Guidelines and application procedures are available from the department office. Application deadlines for most scholarships are April 1. The Science Education Center houses an extensive collection of curriculum materials used to support undergraduate and graduate classes. These materials include curriculum guides, textbooks, laboratory manuals, computer software, and laboratory equipment and supplies. The Center faculty provide students with many opportunities to work with elementary and middle school students in the application of science methods techniques through many center-sponsored events such as the Science for Parents and Kids program.
