Accelerate your career at the vital intersection of education expertise, design and technology. You can acquire advanced skills in designing and developing learning experiences and applying them in a variety of industries.
The graduate certificate program in learning design and technologies prepares you to design and develop digital learning experiences and advance you in a variety of settings. You explore the principles and practices of designing instructional interventions and learning materials that combine theories in education, psychology, communication and technology to create effective learning experiences for adult learners.
You learn how to identify instructional needs, training problems and performance gaps, and then design and develop instruction to mitigate those problems to improve organization performance and efficiency. Hands-on, scenario-based projects provide you with applied practice and help you develop effective communication strategies to enable you to effectively work on cross-functional teams.
The information covered in this program doesn't prepare you to teach in a K-12 classroom, although it may be helpful in a secondary role in your district --- such as creating or conducting professional development experiences, or coordinating or delivering technology training. You can pursue this graduate certificate while enrolled in other graduate programs at ASU.
