Why spend valuable staff time conducting a needs assessment? Needs assessment information is extremely valuable for focusing project activities on the real needs of your intended beneficiaries and for use as baseline data in the project’s evaluation. This webinar will review the underlying purposes of a needs assessment, including how its findings can be used to design a better project and gauge impact. We will outline how to (1) identify your target audience and determine what is already known about their needs, (2) assess needs using a variety of methods, and (3) use the needs assessment results in project planning and evaluation.

By the end of the webinar, you'll be better able to

Define your target audience
Tap into existing data to learn about needs
Design studies that reveal real needs (not just wants) and their underlying causes
Identify practical needs assessment methods that work in your context
Use the results to increase your project’s relevance and efficiency
Generate evaluation criteria grounded in needs assessment results
Join us for a free 90 minutes of evaluation training!

The course will cover OP-TEC’s Fundamentals of Light and Lasers. Each of the six modules will be taught online over a two-week period with a high level of self-paced instruction combined with an interactive component facilitated by e-mail exchanges and chat room discussions.

Fundamentals of Light and Lasers Modules:
Module 1: Nature and Properties of Light
Module 2: Optical Handling and Positioning
Module 3: Light Sources and Laser Safety
Module 4: Basic Geometrical Optics
Module 5: Basic Physical Optics
Module 6: Principles of Lasers

This online course is being offered at no charge to high school, community college and technical college faculty interested in teaching a basic photonics course. Participants who successfully complete the 12-week course and 3-day laboratory session will receive a certificate of completion from OP-TEC. Participants will also be awarded 9 CEUs.

Next course date: Starts September 20, 2010 ( 12-week course runs 9/20/10 - 12/10/10)

The six modules will be taught over a 12-week period.

This workshop is intended for those who are teaching students who plan to become engineers, physical scientists or technicians in technology-related industries. Recent microcomputer-based laboratory (MBL) and computational tools coupled with an activity-based physics approach provides a better method of teaching physics to these future professionals by enabling the teaching/learning process to build on students’ direct experiences in the physics classroom/laboratory or studio.
This workshop will show participants how they can introduce computation into their introductory courses. Participants will engage in a hands-on introduction to computational modeling in the Vpython programming language and learn to develop their own exercises and student projects. A framework for computational projects will be demonstrated along with several example projects, and a discussion of how computational modeling can be implemented in a Two Year College environment.
There will also be an opportunity to share and discuss issues relating to implementation and to teaching physics more effectively. There will be extensive discussions on how to use various strategies, tools, and tactics to overcome problems and barriers. Discussion and information on the needs of the technological workforce and its connection with the activities of this workshop will also be presented. The workshop leaders have years of experience in developing and refining curriculum for introductory physics students.
The local host will be Kent Reinhard who has implemented MBL and LabVIEW into his physics program at Southeast Community College.
