The Educational Technology specialization is addressed to two audiences:
(a) School leaders and teachers who are interested in the application of technology in the classroom or who are interested in technology leadership positions or who are interested in academic careers in higher education;
(b) Those who are interested in instructional development in settings outside elementary/secondary schools, e.g., instructional developers in colleges, institutes of technology and universities, military/industrial trainers, health educators, and private training consultants.
Students in this specialization have the opportunity to investigate a broad spectrum of instructional design and development techniques as they apply to newer technologies and to explore new directions in instructional design and development and evaluation as they emerge in the literature.
