Faculty Experts: The "I" Series - New Signature Core Courses
Issues, Imagination, Intellect, Investigation, Inspiration, Innovation, Implementation!
During the Fall of 2009, the Chair of the University Senate and the Provost officially announced the Spring 2010 pilot of the "I" Series, the signature of the nascent General Education Program. "I"-Series courses begin the transformation of General Education at the University of Maryland. They are designed to investigate significant issues with imagination and intellect with a belief that they will inspire future investigation and provide concrete mechanisms to implement innovative ideas.
These new courses will challenge students to wrestle with the Big Questions and examine the ways in which diverse intellectual traditions address them, offering a students not only new intellectual domains to explore but also new ways to think about contemporary problems like the energy crisis but age old dilemmas like ecological sustainability.
Please see: the "I" Series Home Page for a complete list of courses and descriptions.
Below you'll find our expert's list based on those courses.

The research and teaching by Professor Yaros since 1999 has focused on new media and multimedia journalism. Prior to that, Yaros was an Emmy award-winning reporter and anchor and president of a national educational software corporation.
Specifically, his "Lab for Communicating Complexity With Multimedia" in the new Knight Building explores how audiences seek, select, share and learn from complex news, such as science, health, and technology. He is particularly interested in new and more effective ways that multimedia can be utilized on the web, in social networks, and with mobile technologies.
His work has been featured in Harvard's Nieman Reports, American Journalism Review and several scholarly journals. His published disssertation, Communicating Complex News (2008), explores how Web users process linear and non-linear health stories. Dr. Yaros collaborates with an interdisciplinary team of scholars and graduate students using state of the art technology such as eye-tracking.
Beginning in the spring of 2010, Yaros teaches a new undergraduate "I course" called "Information 3.0." The class explores the latest tools and technologies used to communication various types of information.
Yaros is chair of the College of Journalism's curriculum committee, which is revising the College's curriculum to meet the rapidly changing journalism industry.
