In the course, learners will identify an instructional problem and then design and develop a functional prototype of an e-learning solution. Learning Experience Design Lab provides an environment for learners to apply foundational knowledge and skills, experiment with various e-learning design tools and techniques, provide helpful quality feedback to peers, and receive quality feedback from peers about their own e-learning module. Finally, Learning Experience Design Lab teaches the importance of obtaining user feedback and incorporating that feedback to continuously improve the learning experience. Degree-seeking learners must complete the Learning Experience Design foundations series and two pathway courses prior to completing this course.

Identifying Learner Needs and a Research Problem is the first of three capstone courses in the program. This course provides an introduction to design-based research and focuses specifically on the first two phases of the design-based research process: identifying and analyzing the learning problem and reviewing the literature. This course also requires that learners continue applying Design Thinking as they empathize with learners and define the instructional problem that their research will help them understand and address. Finally, this course teaches learners how to conduct a literature review to determine what research has already been done and what is unknown about their research topic. Learning Experience Design Lab is a prerequisite for this course.

Developing an E-Learning Solution and Research Methodology is the second of three capstone courses in the program. This course focuses on the next two phases of the design-based research process: designing and developing an e-learning solution and designing a research methodology to test how well the solution addressed the instructional problem. This course also requires that learners continue applying Design Thinking as they ideate potential solutions to the instructional problem and begin prototyping a module of instruction. Finally, this course teaches learners how to design research studies that ensure the safety of human subjects and the ethical collection, storage, and reporting of data. The course Identifying Learner Needs and a Research Problem is a prerequisite for this course.

Implementing and Evaluating E-Learning Solutions is the third of three capstone courses in the program. This course focuses on the final steps of the Design-Based Research process: implement, test, refine, reflect, and report. This course also requires that learners continue applying Design Thinking as they test and refine the solution identified during the prototyping phase. The course requires learners to test and refine their implementation strategies, use data to evaluate the effectiveness of their e-learning solution, redesign or enhance their e-learning design based on their interpretation of the data, and summarize their design-based action research study. Developing an E-Learning Solution and Research Methodology is a prerequisite for this course.

Best College Rankings

Best Master’s in Educational Technology

Quick Highlights:

• Our #1 ranking college for a  master’s in educational technology  is  Pennsylvania State University , followed by  Arizona State University .
• Technology in classrooms aims to improve American education rankings .
• Teachers need advanced training to effectively use educational technology.
• Online master’s programs in educational technology offer flexibility and affordability .
• Programs help educators integrate, advocate, and use technology in lesson plans .

For decades, an effort has been underway to transform the American education system and restore its top rankings among international peers. Many of these efforts focus on incorporating innovative new technologies into the typical classroom, allowing students to interact with materials and master key skills in new ways.

In order to properly employ technology, however, teachers often require the intensive training and specialization of a graduate degree in educational technology. These programs teach educators how to work with technology, integrate it into existing lesson plans, and adhere to best practices for security and privacy.

There are many programs available to educators seeking expertise in today’s leading classroom technologies, but online programs are easily the most flexible. With that said, flexibility is not the only measure of a program’s suitability. To help educators get the best education possible, the top 20 online programs in educational technology have been ranked according to their overall affordability, their flexibility, and their overall prestige.

Of these three categories, each school’s prestige and flexibility are weighted heaviest when determining the best online master in education technology. Affordability is less heavily weighted in this list, primarily due to the tuition reimbursement programs available to teachers at most of the nation’s public and private schools.
