The educational technology master’s degree specialization is based on the assumption that new media and the Internet can have a positive effect on teaching and learning. The program provides the master’s degree candidate with both a theoretical and a practical grounding in ed tech methods and techniques, emphasizing theories of teaching and learning that support these methods.

As outlined below, the program consists of some required courses, and a selection of optional courses. The required courses constitute a basic study of educational technology foundations, focusing on principles and practices common across the disciplines, and reflecting on the effects of multimedia and the Internet on current teaching practice. The optional courses explore in more depth ed tech topics in specific content areas or technologies in which the candidate wishes to prepare for providing effective leadership in order to make a positive impact on the future of schooling.
