Instructional Technology at Georgia Southern University
Welcome to the Instructional Technology Program at Georgia Southern University!
Instructional technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological process and resources (AECT Definition and Terminology Committee, 2008, p. 1). Simply put, instructional technologists study how people learn and design instruction using appropriate available technology. Our courses provide teachers, media specialists, instructional supervisors, and post secondary personnel the skills and competence necessary to select and use technology in all its forms. Attention is directed to the unique needs of individuals who aspire to leadership positions in the Instructional Technology field.
All of our degree coursework is offered 100% online. Our faculty are full-time members of the Georgia Southern University community and national leaders in the field of Instructional Technology.
Our Master’s degrees offer options for business and industry as well as two K12 certifications recognized by the Georgia PSC: the school library media certification and the instructional technology certification. Our M.Ed. Instructional Technology degree can be tailored to meet the needs of technology specialists and instructional designers in corporate, military, higher education and district school centers.
Our Education Specialist program is a research-based degree that guides students through applied research in their institutional settings.
The Instructional Tech. Undergraduate Minor is an interdisciplinary minor that prepares students to tackle instructional and design challenges in any job setting through by using technology to design, develop, utilize, manage, and evaluate learning and training systems.
