Introduction
Technology has impacted almost every aspect of life today, and education is no exception. It has also expanded access to education, fostering collaboration among students from all over the world, and steady interaction with instructors and peers through technology-based tools. Technology has also changed the roles of teachers and instructors. The new model of education is based on the development of web-based instructional material to enable students to learn differently and more effectively. However, many teachers do not feel comfortable using this model and are resistant to change.
The Master in Education Technology and Instructional Design prepares teachers and instructors to achieve advanced skills in curriculum, instruction, technology integration, and leadership in the educational environments. The curriculum incorporates the latest research in learning theory, educational technology, and instructional design principles by combining real-world applications and practical skills.
