Program Design
The Instructional Design and Technology program prepares individuals for leadership in the design, development, and integration of technology and online learning into teaching and private sector training.
The field of instructional design and technology encompasses the analysis of learning and performance problems, and the design, development, implementation, evaluation and management of instructional and noninstructional processes and resources intended to improve learning and performance in a variety of settings, particularly educational institutions and the workplace. Professionals in the field of instructional design and technology often use systematic instructional design procedures and employ a variety of instructional media to accomplish their goals. Moreover, in recent years, they have paid increasing attention to noninstructional solutions to some performance problems. Research and theory related to each of the aforementioned areas is also an important part of the field (Reiser, 2002).
As part of the degree requirements, students will complete a comprehensive project. Upon successful completion of program requirements and other requirements outlined in the Graduate Catalog and on this sheet, the student will be awarded the degree Master of Science in Instructional Design and Technology.
