EDUCATIONAL/INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY

    Master of Science in Educational/Instructional Technology (MSEIT)

    CIP Code: 13.0501

    This program qualifies for the STEM designation.

    The goal of the Educational/Instructional Technology program is to enrich the ability of educators to adapt teaching methods by including technologies to promote active learning. The accessibility of technology and digitalization of resources for all students are explored. Applications include enhancing instruction, curriculum, and assessment with data- and technology-driven approaches. Topics in individualized and out-come based learning utilizing technologies are investigated. Emphases on leadership, innovation, and ethical considerations will provide educators with the fluency to develop and manage instructional technology in the classroom and system-wide initiatives.

    Program Objectives

    Together, the 12 MSEIT courses provide the knowledge and skills that enable graduates to advance in educational and training career fields. Specifically, each group of courses in the curriculum measure a student鈥檚 ability to:

    • Utilize contemporary theories of education and training through the integration of technology, which is demonstrated by successful completion of the exercises and projects required in the common- and program-core courses, and capstone course;
    • Create solutions to the challenges of teaching / learning in a technology-driven world using best practices and adaptive methods, which is demonstrated by successful completion of analyses and creation of models required in the program core and elective courses; 
    • Present innovative classroom and system-wide approaches through effective reporting, written and oral communication, and relevant technologies, which are required in the program core and electives courses; and 
    • Develop or adapt models using technologies and digital resources for specific educational environments and levels of learning, including ethical considerations, which are required in the program core and electives courses, and capstone course. 

    Program Length

    It is expected that students will take two courses per term throughout their programs. Since many students take one approved quarter-off (vacation term) per year during their program, the normal program length is 2 years (24 months) with the expectation that students will complete in this length of time. Students are given 3 years (36 months) to complete their programs as long as they are making satisfactory academic progress.
