Learning Technology Specialist (LTS) Post-Baccalaureate Certificate

Overview

Contact: Dr. Ramona A. Kerby

The Online Post-Baccalaureate Learning Technologies Specialist Certificate Program is designed for PreK-12 teachers and administrators to become effective planners, designers, developers, evaluators, and leaders in the use of technology for teaching and learning.  Each course has a theoretical and practical component.  Candidates’ assignments are plans, projects, and learning activities that can be used in their own educational settings.

The core courses’ content and assessments reflect the 2009 Administrator Standards of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and the ISTE 2011 Coaches Standards.  The elective provides each candidate a choice to further explore an additional area of study, such as differentiated instruction, multimedia development, or strategies for teaching the digital generation.

Taught online in 8-week sessions, the 4 core courses and 1 elective may be taken in any order.  Candidates are able to complete the certificate in one year without having to take more than one course at a time.  The courses will count toward a M.S. degree in Curriculum and Instruction.
