Attached is an outline of a course which might serve as a useful
addition to our offerings. I apologize for its form -- a shortage of
time has prevented me from composing it more appropriately. Perhaps
you may consider this outline informally for information and let me
know whether in principle it would be a suitable addition to the
calendar. ?
I will revise it and re-submit it at a later date if it
is, in principle, desirable.
The reasons for adoption of such a course are, I think, three-
fold:
I. The increasing role of computers in virtually every
aspect of our lives makes knowledge about them and
ability to use them valuable.
C
?
2. We have some excellent facilities being under-used through
lack of skilled personnel, and these could be put to good
educational uses.
3. The principles underlying the techniques of teaching that
can be utilized by computer systems are instructive for
developing human teaching skills.
Dr. Sterling, head of the Computing Science program. has
offered to teach such a course during the Summer Session -- directing
it mainly at teachers who want to learn how to use computing facilities
for educational purposes. Such a course would be entered in the Continuing
Education calendar as a Special Topics course, and would carry the
description on the second sheet attached.

The uses of computers as teaching tools will be reviewed in detail, including
interactive and batch based computer aided instruction. The student will
learn COURSEWRITER and study design approaches to CAI. Special uses of
CAI for teachirg the handicapped, the very young, and the maladjusted, will
be reviewed.

* The Faculty of Education has two numbers designated as Special Topic course
numbers: EDUC. 486-4 and EDUC. 487-4. When the Undergraduate Programs
Committee approves more than two Special Topics, the Registrar uses a "letter"
system in order to distinguish between the Topics for Registration and
Transcript purposes.

ED.B. 486-4 Special Topic:
EVALUATING PREPARED CURRICULUM MATERIALS
Dr. R. Gehlbach
The bulk of the educational material used in the elementary school,
particularly for the academic skills and subject matter, is prepared
by persons and organizations other than the teacher, usually commercial
publishers. Among the most important decisions that teachers make are
those regarding the selection of materials they will use. The selection
is not easy, as virtually every commercial publisher claims educational
superiority for its materials.
However, there are strategies for determining the appropriateness of
an educational programme for one's philosophy and own style of teaching,
strategies that will penetrate the often slick promotional veneer of
commercial educational materials.
In this course, students will be introduced to the development and marketing
practices commonly used by commercial educational publishers and to the
selection and evaluation procedures for new materials commonly employed
by school boards. In addition, each student will select a major available
commercial educational programme in which he is interested and conduct
an investigation of it. Group discussion periods will be used to facilitate
the design of students' strategies for their individual selection and evaluation
endeavors.

John Hasell
By special arrangement between the Canadian Outward Bound Mountain
School at Keremeos, B.C. and Simon Fraser University, a special
program may be offered to teachers and student teachers in the
Summer of 1975. The program will focus on the basic Outward Bound
Course as a means of personal development through physical and
psychological challenge in a wilderness setting. The program is
offered at the Outward Bound School in Keremeos, B.C. from Monday,
July 14 - Saturday, August 8, 1975. The program car±ies 8 semester
hours of university credit via two courses: ED.E. 486-4;
"Outward Bound Teachers' Practicum and EDG. 487-4, "Outward
Bound Teachers' Practicum".
The Outward Bound Teachers' Practicum is intended for teachers of all
subject areas. Previous outdoor experience is not necessary.

COACHING AND SPORTS MANAGEMENT
SPECIAL TOPIC
ED.C. 487-4 ?
L. Davies and Specialists
The course will consit of instruction directly helpful to coaching
on the secondary level in football, basketball, track and field,
wrestling and field hockey. Golf will be included for those interested
in recreational aspects.
The course will consist of lectures, tutorials for each of the specified
sports, audio visual aids, and actual field work where students can see
the philosophies and techniques put into practice. If possible, there
will also be visitations to see well-run practices and programs. Visit-
ations will show how the best use of facilities is made in high schools,
so that all sports and events have some time in usually limited facilities.
In short, everything will be done to give the student knowledge in the
area of secondary school coaching.
Each of the sports will have about one week for lectures. In addition, each
Thursday there will be a tutorial. This means that each student will have
a week of lectures for each sport and then six tutorials in the sport that
most interests her/him.
More information may be obtained by contacting the Athletics office at
291-3313.

The purpose of this memoran um is to request that you consider two items
relative to the offering an teaching of undergraduate courses in coming
semesters. The first deals wth special topics courses and the second
with teaching assignments.
1. Special Topics or Exper mntal Courses As you are probably aware
we have listed in the calen a' two special topics courses, EDUC. 486-4
and 487-4 as well as-one ex eHmental course, EDUC. 489-4. Special
topics courses have been us d to spice up our offerings of coursework
and also to make use of ava lble expertise. Experimental courses
have been used to try out courses that may become regular offerings.
The Undergraduate Programs omittee approves these prior to their. being
offered. In the past, the çomittee has simply acted upon ee.:h proposal
as it has come forward. On occasions approval of late submissions has not
allowed sufficient time for advertising. At the December 4th meeting
of the Undergraduate Programs Committee, the discussion of special topics
gave rise to. the following rpposals:
a)
That reasonable deailknes be set for the submission of
proposals for speci litopics courses.
b)
That all special topics courses be considered at one time
by the committee.
I
c)
That Faculty and Faulty Associates be reminded of such
deadlines in advanc.1
Thus the following dates have been set for submission of proposals for
special topics and experimental courses for the next three semesters:
Semester ?
Deadline for Submission
79-2
December
31
1978
?
79-3 ?
March 31, 1978
?
80-1 ?
July 31, 1979
Proposals should be submittd on a regular course proposal form and where
persons other than regular faculty members are to be involved in teaching,
a curriculum vitae must be pftached.
2. Offerings and Teaching Pssignments I would like to request that you
submit to me your wisheswith regard to the teaching of undergraduate
courses for 79-3, 80-1 and O-2.
