Overview
The Learning Design and Technologies, MEd, program prepares students to design, develop, and evaluate learning structures through the effective application of technology in a variety of formal and informal educational settings (e.g., K-12 classrooms, higher education, non-profit organizations, business and industry). The program emphasizes grounded instructional strategies rooted in established theories of learning. It focuses on the design and development of competency-based instructional materials and their application and evaluation in applied settings.
Through projects that address real-world challenges, students have the opportunity to apply current learning and instructional design practices together with the use of emerging technologies.
Courses included in the graduate program are:
LDT 502: Design and Development of Instruction
LDT 504: eLearning Design and Development
LDT 508: Design of Accessible and Inclusive Digital Learning
LDT 523: Design Principles of Online and Blended Learning

Undergraduate students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's program during their junior year (75+ credit hours earned). Applicants for the accelerated program must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 in the last 60 hours of their bachelor's degree. Students who do not meet this requirement will need to meet with our advising team to discuss the next steps.
Students not yet in their junior year are encouraged to express their interest in the program to advisors as early as possible in their academic journey. This will allow our advising team to consider your interest in future courses and semesters and allow you to connect with the graduate team at the appropriate time.
