The Ph.D. program in Learning and Technology is designed to enable students to become independent scholars, who are able to make significant contributions to knowledge in the discipline of educational psychology and the field of educational technology. The focus of the program is on the assessment and understanding of learning outcomes and processes in technology-rich learning environments and in modifying those environments in ways that promote more effective learning.
The program will prepare students for a variety of professional careers related to teaching and research in both academic and non-academic settings. For example, students will be prepared to fill faculty or research and development positions at academic institutions, such as universities, community colleges, and K-12 school districts. In addition, students will be prepared to work in non-academic state and federal agencies that deal with issues related to learning and technology as well as in the private sector.
The Ph.D. program in Learning and Technology is housed in the Department of Educational Psychology and operated in association with the Department of Curriculum & Instruction. Faculty from the Educational Computing and Technology area of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction and selected faculty from the Department of Educational Psychology comprise the program faculty for this degree.
