Master of Education, Education Technology and Instructional Design

The Master of Education, Education Technology and Instructional Design is a competency-based degree program designed for professionals looking to create experiences that enable learners to achieve desired outcomes in a human-centered, goal-oriented way. Intended to be practical and application-based, the program incorporates seven cross-cutting themes: Design Thinking; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I); social and emotional learning (SEL); learning analytics; learning technology; Universal Design for Learning (UDL); and accessibility. The program offers two specialization options, which allow candidates to learn best practices for designing learning experiences for students in K-12 education or adult learners in higher education, corporate, government, or healthcare sectors. Candidates may also choose to complete both specializations. The competencies in this program measure in-demand skills, preparing candidates for careers as instructional designers and technologists, learning experience designers, workforce development specialists, e-learning designers and developers, learning and development leads, and other related roles.
