Provide details on how existing instructional resources will be redistributed to accommodate this new course. For instance, will another course be eliminated or will the frequency of offering of other courses be reduced; are there changes in pedagogical style or class sizes that allow for this additional course offering.

Normally no instructional materials required in dialogue field placement.

Does this course require specialized space or equipment not readily available in the department or university, and if so, how will these resources be provided?

Facilities at Harbour Centre are already adequate.

Does this course require computing resources? (e.g. hardware, software, network wiring, use of computer laboratory space) and if so, describe how they will be provided.

Not required.
