Wayne State University Instructional Technology
Education Specialist Certificate
with
Emphasis in Interactive Technologies
Minimum Number of Hours: 36
This emphasis is designed for:
- Those who already have a Master’s degree, typically in an area other than Instructional Technology, and are interested in working with the design and development of advanced technologies or as an e-learning specialist. Students already holding an IT Master’s degree will have specially designed programs that provide further development of this specialty area. It is possible for a student to apply Educational Specialist work to a doctoral program.
Specializations:
- Students may choose to enhance their competencies and job opportunities by constructing plans of work with a double emphasis that combines Interactive Technologies with either K-12 Technology Integration or Performance Improvement.
