Learning, Design, and Technology (CERT)

The graduate certificate in Learning, Design and Technology (LDT) prepares learners to create, analyze, use, integrate, implement, assess, evaluate and manage instructional and performance solutions. When students graduate they hold instructional design and technology positions in education (P-12 and higher education), corporate, government or military organizations. The program develops professionals who are solidly grounded in learning, design and technology foundations, principles, theories, applications and current trends and provides opportunities for them to integrate different forms of technology to enhance teaching and learning. This program is 100% online and has been endorsed by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT). The program is either 15 or 18 credit hours, depending on selected concentration: school specialist (18 - 077 endorsement from NCDPI), training and development (15), online teaching and learning(15).
