Preferred Semester and Duration:
I am looking to initiate this collaboration in every Fall Semester, which starts in September, spanning 10 to 14 weeks. The course can be structured in modules to allow flexibility, with each module focusing on different aspects of educational technology, such as pedagogical theories, practical applications, and research methodologies.
