Program Overview:
The Advanced Certificate in Instructional Technology is designed to help educators and prospective educators integrate technology into their instructional and professional practice. Unlike programs designed to train computer specialists, the goal of this curriculum is to provide teachers and non-school-based professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to use technology as a tool in their educational settings. All courses are taught online or in state-of-the-art computer labs with a software library designed to meet the present and future needs of educators.
