Program & Courses
The Department of Educational Technology (Edtech) offers a diversity
of Program & Courses to graduate students, undergraduate students,
as well as lifelong learners. Edtech offers a Master's program,
a doctoral cognate, TIES (Technology Intensive Enhancement Series),
and TAP (Technology Activators Project).
As an academic discipline, it prepares individuals to be knowledgeable
about learning resources (messages, people, materials, devices,
techniques and settings), about the processes for analyzing and
devising solutions to those problems through research, theory, design,
production, evaluation, utilization, and about the processes involved
in organization and personnel management. The training prepares
an individual for an activity which is basically intellectual and
which carries a great personal responsibility. This professional
activity is based upon a body of knowledge rather than on routine
tasks. Such routines should not be confused with communications
and instructional techniques which form the basis of professional
education in the discipline.
