Since Concordia University is both a multi cultural environment and located in a major Hockey Town, it would be normal to make a Hockey 101 course available to anyone interested, from international students to those tired of cheering only when the others are cheering without knowing why.

This is a course that will discuss ideation generation.  It will discuss how one comes up with ideas, and applies that to their field of work.  Models of the process of coming up with an idea will be featured, along with heuristic methods.

This course highlights the notion that there is a fine line between reality and simulated reality. In today's society, there seems to be a growing need for people to create distinct and separate realities from the lives they lead. Using Daniel Boorstin as a resource, I have outlined the dangers in simulating such realities and have explored some lengths that people go to in order to seek fame from fiction. Lastly, I question whether we, as citizens should feel betrayed by someone who portrays something as fact when in reality it has been a contrived project.

Newspapers have been gradually going online for twenty years. Today, almost every newspaper has an online version and some are taking advantage of the interactive technologies that are now available. Blogs, podcasts, audio/visual, discussion boards, chats, RSS feeds, etc. have dramatically changed the way that people receive their news. Firstly, news can be updated and accessed every second of the day instead of only once in the morning. In addition, these new interactive features allow the audience to have a more active role. Instead of only having letters to the editor be the way their voices are heard, readers can now post their opinions instantaneously and this affects the way that news is now reported.

Through a social learning process, learners will examine and discover popular theories of family communication and relationship dynamics together with the theory of social constructivism. Working collaboratively within a series of exercises and activities, learners will analyze the potential benefits of applying a social constructivist learning approach as a communicative strategy for parenting.
