Instructional Technology

Overview

In the Digital Age, you can enhance your professional power by honing your skills in helping others learn, unlearn and relearn. Instructional technology (IT) is an interdisciplinary field that can sharpen your abilities to critically analyze the performance problems of employees or students. Once analyzed, instructional technologists:

Envision flexible solutions to those problems
Design creative strategies for bringing their visions to life
Produce a variety of multimedia innovations
Evaluate how well their own solutions, strategies and innovations added value to the organization for which they work

Program Format

Courses are 100% online and will help you apply cutting-edge media and techniques within the field. During the fall and spring semesters, courses are offered in either 16- or eight-week terms; abbreviated-term courses are common during the summer.

Please note that international students are ineligible to receive a student visa for these programs.

What can I do with a degree in instructional technology?

The instructional technology program prepares students for a variety of instructional development and technology-related positions in education, nonprofits, business and industry.

Stacked Credentials

The instructional technology program offers a professional development sequence, post-baccalaureate certificates and three master’s degree emphases. You can apply the credits from a post-baccalaureate certificate toward the master’s degree. Thus, if you earn a certificate, you actually will be earning two SIUE credentials: a post-baccalaureate certificate and a degree.
