Master's in Learning Design and Technology
Curriculum
Our entirely online Masters in Learning Design and Technology program is meticulously crafted to equip future graduates with the tools and expertise they need to build effective, inclusive, and accessible digital learning experiences. The 30-credit program can be completed in as few as 12 months when students choose the accelerated path, which includes three 3-hour courses and one 1-hour Technology Lab every trimester.
All academic courses follow the part-of-term trimester calendar and are 7 weeks long. Technology Labs follow the full Trimester term, and are 15 weeks long.
Students who graduate with the MS in Learning Design and Technology will also be eligible for a complementary embedded credit-bearing Certificate in Online Teaching and Learning.
The curriculum includes three interactive Technology Lab courses, which provide hands-on experience with the latest educational tools and software, equipping students to enhance learning and teaching methodologies.
