Become a Leader in Instructional Design & Technology
The Educational Technology & Innovation concentration within Concordia’s Master of Education program prepares students to become leaders in instructional design and technology within education and organizational development.
Educational Technology & Innovation courses are in partnership with the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA). Classes focus on innovation, equipping students with the skills to identify current and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and virtual reality. Concordia Ed Tech students take the concepts learned in class directly to their own classrooms or organizations, applying real world skills to their current workplace.
This is a 16-month fully online program. The curriculum interweaves the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards throughout the program.
The Educational Technology & Innovation concentration gave me better insight into how my students learn and the methods of test delivery that will allow me to gain the most information for each of them.
