Graduate summer study in Greece through New York U.
From: "HR-Net News Distribution Manager" <dist@hri.org>
SUMMER STUDY IN GREECE
The Department of Educational Communication and Technology at New York
University's School of Education will offer a six credit graduate summer
study program in Greece, June 7-28, 1997. This summer's program provides a
practical understanding of cognitive science and educational technology as
they are applied to learning teaching and the design of educational media.
Students develop this understanding by exploring issues of knowledge,
learning and teaching in an environment rich in cognitive artifacts and
traditions. The program's goals are posed as a quest for knowledge - an
effort to "learn about learning" through the interaction with cultural
artifacts, traditions and people of Greece, from Antiquity through the
Classical, Byzantine, and contemporary eras, including archaeological sites,
museums and artistic events.
To balance experiential learning with the classroom, students also
participate in seminars and group discussions with noted Greek scholars and
practitioners of museums, universities and other institutions of learning
and culture.
This program invites applications and inquiries from graduate and
undergraduate students, professionals and scholars. For more information and
application materials, please contact: Paul David Henry via email at
pdh7555@is.nyu.edu, or at Summer Study in Greece, 239 Greene St, East
Building, Rm 300, New York, NY 10003-6680, tel. 212-998-5177. The deadline
is April 16, 1997, however any requests after this date will be considered
on a space available basis.
