Program Description

The Graduate Certificate in Designing Digital Instruction (15 credits) provides the opportunity to develop the competencies required to design digital resources and online or e-learning instruction. The courses are carefully combined into a fully online program that is built on a framework of internationally validated standards for instructional designers, online instructors, and online learners. This provides candidates with a 360-degree (designer, instructor, learner) view of digital instruction and learning facilitating them in learning how to design and create sound instructional resources and environments that will lead to quality learning experiences. In addition to the course work, candidates will be required to develop a digital portfolio that consists of both sample digital projects and reflections on their development of instructional designer, online instructor, and online learner competencies.

This program has been registered with the New York State Education Department and provides professionals with the opportunity to advance their knowledge and skills in the area of instructional design and learning with digital technologies.
