Drive Student Success Through Technology
As the online teaching and learning environment continues to evolve, schools are looking for technology leaders to more effectively engage learners, increase performance, and improve the quality of learning experiences for their students. Penn State World Campus, in collaboration with Penn State College of Education, offers a 30-credit master’s degree in learning, design, and technology. This completely online program can prepare you to leverage emerging educational technology to shape learning in the future.
Penn State World Campus also offers three online postbaccalaureate certificate programs in educational technology integration (15 credits), e-learning design (12 credits), and teaching and learning online in K–12 settings (15 credits). Credits successfully earned in any of these programs will count toward the requirements of the MEd in Learning, Design, and Technology, if you apply and are accepted into the program.
