Overview

The Learning Design and Technologies MEd program from University of South Carolina is appropriate for K-12 teachers, corporate trainers, and government and healthcare workers who will be developing instructional interventions with technology-enhanced learning. Neither teaching licensure nor a previous degree in education is required for admissions.

The program’s missions are:

To prepare practitioners with sound principles and techniques of instructional systems design plus technological competence
To prepare leaders for the meaningful integration of educational technology in teaching, learning, and performance environments

What kinds of work will I be able to do?

This program is focused on preparing practitioners who are interested in innovations for improving learning and performance through technological resources and processes. Graduate students apply principles of instructional systems design to computer-based instruction, rapid eLearning development, and technology integration to support on-ground and online learning. We use research-based learning theories and instructional models to design meaningful and effective learning opportunities for children and adults, and we leverage contemporary development tools, such as audio and video editing software, multimedia, cloud-based development tools, and learning management systems.

Potential new careers include instructional designers, corporate training and eLearning developers, curriculum developers, digital learning specialists, and instructional support leaders for K-12 school districts, higher education, or departments of education.
