Doctor of Education in Design of Learning Technologies
In recent years, students in the program have made four questions paramount:
- Which emerging technologies hold the greatest promise for enriching learning experiences throughout the educational enterprise?
- What cognitive, social, and cultural theories of learning must be considered when designing educational tools, environments, and systems?
- How should educators deploy, manage, and evaluate information and communication technologies in classrooms for optimal educational effect?
- What principles of design and practice should educators incorporate into distributed educational courses and programs?
