the teaching and learning process, addressing the information needs of
teachers has become the key to integrating technology into the classroom and
increasing student learning. The primary emphasis of this Educational
Technology Master's Program is to prepare educators who can create learning
environments that integrate computers into the teaching and learning
process.The MSET degree is an advanced degree designed to equip educators to be:
- leaders in educational technology
- current in teaching and learning processes and practices
- current in research technologies and designs
- knowledgeable of technologies and programming skills
- knowledgeable of current, technology-based educational tools and products
The program integrates a highly technological environment with a
project-based curriculum. Its focus is supported by an institutionally
systemic belief that there is a substantial role for technology in teaching
and learning in all educational environments.
