Advanced Instructional Design Certificate |
Who Should Apply?
This certificate targets teaching professionals who want to hone their instructional design,
facilitation, consultation, or project management skills. Graduates of this program take the
lead in conceptualizing and producing a wide variety of learning interventions - from self-paced
"overview" tutorials to complex electronic performance systems to podcasts and vodcasts.
A hallmark of the program is its flexibility; the choice of different elective strands allow
participants to focus, for example, on the design of (intrinsically-motivating) educational
games and simulations; ways to strategically influence "informal" learning; and
development of web sites and other products that embrace the principles of universal design.
The program prepares participants for high-level roles in the learning enterprise, no matter
what the setting in which they happen to work (K-12, higher education, business, nonprofit,
military, government). |
