The on-campus program has been in existence since 1988 and expanded into online course delivery based upon student demand. All faculty hold a Master's or Doctoral degree with an emphasis in curriculum and technology and have practical experience in the field. The program is specifically designed to meet the needs of practicing teachers, especially those who have a desire to share what they learn with others. An important part of the program is developing an online collaborative support network with online peers so that participants do not feel isolated as they work to implement technology in their classrooms and schools. The courses model effective strategies for teaching and learning online using a collaborative discussion and learning community framework.
Time is also devoted in the courses to developing reflective practitioners.
