Master of Science in Education – Digital Age Learning and Educational Technology

This online Master of Science (MS) in Education concentration prepares educators and related professionals to consider the effective application of technologies for learning in recognition of the changing roles of educators in preK-12, higher education, corporate, and entrepreneurial environments. Formerly known as the Technology for Educators MS program, the courses have recently been updated to represent a focus on the evolving field of learning science and the ways in which technology might support this evolution.

The program is aligned with the 2017 release of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Educators, as well as learning theories from the National Academies of Science’s initiatives on the new science of learning. The knowledge base within the program comes from both existing and emerging methods for effective technology training and effective leadership including policy, practice, research, wisdom, theory, culturally responsive education, and legislation. The courses involve project based learning and collaborative planning. Candidates gain competencies in learning science, instructional design, systems change, Universal Design for Learning, and evaluation of emerging technologies.
