Educational Technology is a diversified concentration, concerned with the design, implementation, and assessment of contemporary technologies to enhance education and training.  The master's program creates educators and trainers who can effectively apply new technologies to enhance education and training. Graduate students develop the knowledge and techniques necessary to analyze the learning needs and goals of their audience; develop and design instructional materials and activities; and assess and evaluate those activities.

Our program emphasizes:

a) the use of modern technologies in schools, colleges and universities, business and other areas

b) research, and evaluation of educational technologies

c) alignment with national and New York state educational technology standards

d) ethical and societal issues associated with the use of technology

Master’s Project (EST 598 zero credit course)

Students typically address the Master’s project in one of three ways: 

1) a literature search on a technical issue in the concentration area.

2) a project that combines some form of technical training from two or more classes in the program.

3) by addressing a professional problem where there is not sufficient time or available effort to address in the working environment and which requires additional technical information.
