Instructional Technology is a growing field that draws from message design, instructional design, instructional research, and emerging communication technologies. These areas are combined to design and produce educational materials, insure their proper utilization in diverse settings, and expand the knowledge base of the field. The student's program emphasizes broad exposure to all aspects of instructional development and technology with the subsequent opportunity to focus on selected educational media. Individuals will acquire skills in the application of computers, television, telecommunications, and other interactive media in the creation of instructional materials. Qualitative and quantitative program evaluation and research are also included in the outline of the study.
Doctoral students complete a dissertation under the supervision of a doctoral committee.
