The faculty of the Learning, Design, and Technology Program at Penn State University are excited to launch the new Postbacccalaureate Certificate in e-Learning Design. The 12-credit certificate supports the professional development of new and early-career designers working in online learning environments across corporate, military, community, nonprofit, higher education, and K-12 audiences.
Students must complete the following four courses to earn the certificate:
- LDT 415A – Systematic Instructional Development
- LDT 467 – Emerging Web Technologies and Learning
- LDT 832 – Designing Learning for Course Management Systems
- ADTED 531 – Course Design and Development in Distance Education
The courses may be completed in any order. Students new to work in the education field may wish to consider LDT 415A or LDT 467 first. We are unable to substitute any of courses, and all four courses must be earned via Penn State World Campus.
All courses in the e-Learning Design certificate can be transferred into the Master of Education in Learning, Design, and Technology program (including ADTED 531).
Applications are being accepted now via the Apply Now button on the certificate’s World Campus program description. Additional information about the application process is also available via that program description.
Questions about the e-Learning Design certificate’s curriculum may be addressed to Dr. Josh Kirby.
