Appalachian State University

Instructional Technology Graduate Program

on the campus of  

University of North Carolina - Asheville Graduate Center

Fall 2007

 

The Instructional Technology program at Appalachian State University is an innovative, award-winning graduate degree program. Nearly all of our 160 students are part-time, distance-based practicing education professionals who learn together in regional cohorts. All of our content -- and nearly all of our interactions with students and with each other -- is housed in an innovative online learning environment, called AET Zone.  AET Zone, a 3D virtual world for learning, has been recognized as a significant and innovative educational technology initiative.

The Instructional Technology Specialist/Computers program is designed for K-12 educators and administrators who want to combine studies in both instructional applications and computer technologies. These studies lead to state licensure for the Technology Director (077) and the Technology Facilitator Endorsement (079).  Many classroom teachers pursue this degree to improve their classroom use of computer technologies.
