Innovative Teaching
In the Department of Criminology, Mike Larsen and Wade Deisman are pushing the virtual envelope with several innovative pedagogical initiatives. The two instructors are team teaching a course addressing the problems of police deviance and accountability. Lectures from the course will be posted as podcasts on I-Tunes – marking the first ever Kwantlen I-Tunes University course. Furthermore, students in the class will learn about and partake in ‘public criminology‘ both by writing about what they are learning and thinking about and by sharing their thoughts on a special Police Deviance blogging site (http://policedeviance.wordpress.com/). Finally, since Canadian material dealing with issues of police misconduct and corruption is very limited, the two instructors will be working with students in the class to develop some of the source material for an introductory textbook on the subject they are planning on writing together after the course concludes.
