Teaching, Learning and Technology

Learn strategies to enhance education by integrating best practices and leading-edge technologies that improve teaching across instructional settings.

Our Teaching, Learning and Technology program supports students in expanding their understanding of how individuals learn and how to design learning environments that best serve all students.  Working with faculty experts, students develop innovative curricula and learning environments that integrate technology and support individuals of all abilities and backgrounds. 

About

The Teaching, Learning, and Technology degree programs prepare educators for classroom and non-classroom settings through a variety of graduate-level educational experiences. All of our professional degree programs explore research-based best practices in teaching, learning, and technology and are carefully designed to integrate course work and practicum experiences, leading to Pennsylvania certification and/or a graduate certificate or degree.

Our doctoral research studies focus on the optimal design, development, and integration of innovative practice and/or learning technologies to enhance teaching and learning in diverse settings. Program faculty and students collaborate in researching creative new approaches in a variety of instructional settings including PreK-16 classrooms, online learning environments, and informal learning settings. 

Teachers, schools and industries are looking to incorporate more technology into teaching and learning in innovative and effective ways. Our certificate and master’s degree programs are targeted toward people from varied backgrounds who want to learn to incorporate technology more effectively in educational settings.
