Program Description:

This program is a fully online version of our Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation, M.S.

The Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation Department (IDD&E) offers a variety of programs to help students develop the competencies required to identify and evaluate learning and performance problems and to design, develop, and implement appropriate instructional solutions to these problems. Students develop competencies to conduct instructional analysis, make appropriate design decision, develop instructional materials, implement and evaluate instructional programs, and assess learning. The curriculum includes courses that blend soft technologies (thinking models and theories, strategic planning, IDD&E processes, interpersonal communications, and software) and hard technologies. Through practical projects, students develop competencies to design, create, implement, and evaluate non-technology and technology-supported instructional solutions for a variety of educational and professional settings. IDD&E also offers a fully online Certificate of Advanced Study in Designing Digital Instruction (15 credits), along with their other on-campus programs, including: Certificates of Advanced Study in Educational Technology (15 credits) and Instructional Design Foundations (12 credits) as well as M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation.
