EXSS 444 Adapted Physical Activity is part of the Exercise & Sport Science (EXSS) Program Undergraduate curriculum. The course provides an overview of cognitive, neuromuscular, sensory and orthopedic impairments as well as information on best practices for the design and implementation of physical activity programs for individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n
One section of EXSS 444 is offered every term, including the summer. Enrollment is typically between 40-45 students (higher enrollment in the Fall and Winter terms, lower in Spring and Summer) and largely consists of seniors.<\/p>\n
Our redesign will include offering the course once a week (instead of twice) with the remaining class being offered online.<\/p>\n
I’ve inserted a link to the course mix-map so you can visualize the proposed set-up. hybrid-mix-map 444<\/a><\/p>\n Basically – the majority of the content will be presented online with guest speakers, small group discussions, and practical activities taking place during the f2f meetings. All assessments (quizzes, tests) will be completed online and assignments will be submitted electronically through Bb and graded with interactive rubrics.<\/p>\n Each weekly online module will include content and 3 integrated discussion boards so students will have an opportunity to interact in small groups (6-7 students) on a specific topic after reviewing a case study, watching a video, etc. In addition to the modules students will have access to an audio podcast (placed on iTunes U) to review the material in a different format which are accompanied with traditional PPT notes. Our goal is to present students who have different learning styles with ways to successfully engage in the material.<\/p>\n I’m working on the re-design with two colleagues so JK and Megan – please include information on things I may have missed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EXSS 444 Adapted Physical Activity is part of the Exercise & Sport Science (EXSS) Program Undergraduate curriculum.
