Master of Education (M. Ed.) Curriculum & Instruction - Learning, Design & Technology

The Master’s program in Curriculum & Instruction - Learning, Design & Technology systematically prepares education, healthcare, and business professionals to create, deliver and analyze instruction and improve performance using effective technology tools. The program provides opportunities to learn new and innovative skills to integrate the latest technologies in teaching and learning. There is a strong connection between course activities and implementing and improving practices in an instructional setting.

The Learning, Design & Technology program consists of 10 courses - two Curriculum and Instruction core courses and eight Learning, Design & Technology specialization courses. The program can be completed in five semesters.

Each semester, students can choose classes that are taught face-to-face at UH or at UH at Sugar Land, or they can choose online classes. Students may complete the entire degree online if they wish.

Students learn the following skills:­

  1. Integrating technology into educational practice to improve learning in innovative and creative ways,
  2. Using a diverse range of technologies to connect and collaborate with others,
  3. Designing authentic learning experiences and assessments using the instructional design process,
  4. Applying and incorporating digital citizenship in teaching and learning activities,
  5. Engaging learners through online and blended instructional approaches,
  6. Strategically planning for technology use, implementation and dissemination in educational practice, and
  7. Making sound decisions based on research about the use of technology to support and enhance learning.

Students complete a Capstone Project as part of the program requirements for the Learning, Design & Technology Master’s program. The Capstone Project provides students with the opportunity to apply, integrate and synthesize key concepts learned from courses in the program. This project demonstrates the depth and breadth of educational growth through the program and highlights the knowledge and skills gained, as well as development as a reflective practitioner. Students identify an authentic and challenging technology-related problem and then design, develop, implement and evaluate a proposed solution to meet that need.

This is a sample degree plan and courses offered each semester may be different depending on which semester you begin.
