Educational Technology Integration Postbaccalaureate Credit Certificate Program

Educators gain competencies in how to effectively teach with learning technologies in this nine-credit certificate program. Educators also learn design principles for including learning technologies into lessons, workshops, and professional development experiences. At the end of the certificate, educators will be able to teach and create interactive in-person, hybrid, and online learner-centered educational activities. The certificate is for educational professionals interested in careers in industry, government, higher education, cultural institutions, K-12 schools, and community-based organizations. The three courses in this certificate can be applied to the M.Ed. in Learning, Design, and Technology.

Courses

Graduate courses carry numbers from 500 to 699 and 800 to 899. Advanced undergraduate courses numbered between 400 and 499 may be used to meet some graduate degree requirements when taken by graduate students. Courses below the 400 level may not. A graduate student may register for or audit these courses in order to make up deficiencies or to fill in gaps in previous education but not to meet requirements for an advanced degree.

Learning Outcomes
