Honors+Students

=Need **honors credit** for a course?=

The **Inventors’ Workshop at ASU** is looking for motivated students of all disciplines to create online learning modules around university courses and labs. Learning modules aim to “DIY” the educational experience with creative, versatile, diverse, and collaborative content. Depending on the subject matter, modules will utilize various educational sources (TED talks, academic journals, etc), local experts, and hands-on projects to enhance student learning. Honors students will use any media deemed necessary to create a module that effectively summarizes and expands on classroom content, to be used by future students and Inventioneers.

Students:

 * Self guided exploration and learning
 * Create valuable networking contacts across the Inventors’ Workshop
 * Resume building

Professors:

 * Connect with motivated students across multiple fields of study
 * Learn Modules will become a valuable learning aid to future students
 * Addition of new ideas, topics, projects, and media to the course material to inspire students to go above and beyond what is required

This contract can take many forms depending on the class and instructors expectations. For all contracts please coordinate with Logan Van Engelhoven for any information or help you may need.
 * [|Honors Enrichment Contracts]** are due **Jan 19th** for session A classes and **Feb 2** for session C classes.

For more information on modules, the Inventors Workshop, or anything else please explore the links to the right.

 * note: each module will be different depending on the subject but use this as a guide for formatting


 * 1) Ask to be a member of the IW wikispace- notify Logan of the course your are creating a module around
 * 2) Create a personal profile (see Tech Support)
 * 3) Start building your module page!

Further Instruction and Information
Elizabeth,

Thank you for your interest in the program. This program has just been started so we do not have a clearly defined method or format, you would be helping us figure that out as the semester progresses. The main idea is to create a learning module to which you add content from the course, as well as any other content you feel helps enhance it (see the "educational resources" page for many great websites to look for additional content) throughout the semester. At the culmination of the semester this learning module should cover all the course material, giving current and future students and additional educational resource.

As an idea of your target audience, this module may be used by: students currently enrolled in the course to learn more effectively students thinking of enrolling in the course to determine if it is right for them or to do a little advance preparation students/others interested in the subject but unable to take the course

The Inventors' workshop does not have the ability to give students honors credit for a course, an honors enrichment contract must be completed with your instructor for the course you want to create a module for. We are here to provide the central "home base" for you to create your module as well as to answer any questions you or your professor may have. Once the contract has been approved, let me know and I'll help you get started. If the contract is not approved and you would like to create a module for the fun/learning experience that's great too and I would love to help. Again, this is the first semester so it is understandable if some professors may have doubts. If this is the case please refer them to our website, myself, or Professor Winslow Burleson.

You do not need any specific skills with computers, the wiki format is very similar to Word and easy to use. For some basic tips see the "Tech Support" page, or search wikispaces tutorials on google. If you have any computer experience that you think may enhance the wiki, feel free to let me know.

Also, we are starting a student organization that will be meeting this semester to discuss and share ideas. Keep checking the website and other campus news sources for more info on that!

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Best,

Best, Logan Van Engelhoven
