Teaching and Learning with Technology
Program Overview
The Teaching and Learning with Technology undergraduate certificate provides students with the tools to acquire the knowledge and concrete skills to deploy educational technology theories and strategies in multiple fields while working at educational institutions, communication-related companies, public health entities, and other industries.
This certificate is for both students in an education or non-education field. Education students will strengthen their know-how in learning innovations while being exposed to interdisciplinary stimuli and references and expanding their professional and academic horizons. Non-education students will access the most recent best practices in educational technology, applying them in their own field of reference and beyond.
Certificates are also an excellent opportunity for students looking to ease into a degree program or for students currently working on a degree. Since each certificate program works differently in terms of time to completion, scheduling, delivery method, and financial aid, it’s best to talk to an academic advisor to get all the details!
Graduates of this program will be able to:
- Identify and evaluate main factors and processes related the role of technology in improving learning and teaching practices at any level, from preK-12 education to professional development needs
- Deploy learning technologies and related strategies to fields like public health and communication
- Design technology-mediated solutions for improving education and related best practices
- Develop interventions for increasing learning outcomes and performances in education, communication and public health
