We are honored to have you as students in our online programs. This new year brings new and improved opportunities for learning, and for preparing for your next professional steps. We resolve to do our best to support your efforts to fulfill your educational goals. If you need information, guidance, or suggestions from us, please contact us immediately.

Course Registration Recap

The Spring 2017 term has started, and things are starting off well. The LDT program is offering nine online courses this term. We’re excited about the complete revamping and re-launch of Dr. Gabriela Richard’s EDTEC 561 course that explores the assessment of the impact of technology on learning. Overall, some of our courses reached their capacity by the end of October 2016, which reinforces the importance of registering for your next courses well in advance. Other courses were full before Thanksgiving. The trend is that the courses that fill first are the courses included in the Postbaccalaureate Certificate in Educational Technology Integration. The few openings that remained at the start of the term were in the courses that apply only to the M.Ed. in LDT degree.

LDT Library Guide

by

The Penn State University logo with the words "Penn State University Libraries"The Penn State University education librarian has produced a custom library guide specifically for the Learning, Design, and Technology program’s students, faculty, and staff. The guide gathers onto a single page the most-often-sought digital library resources for the LDT community. If you are fan of Google Scholar, take note: Use Penn State’s authenticated login link to Google Scholar (as opposed to the public scholar.google.com) so that your search results point back to the digital collections that Penn State subscribes to.

SARI Training Schedule – Spring 2017

by

All M.Ed. in LDT students are required to complete the university’s required Scholarship and Research Integrity (SARI) training program prior to graduation. Based on past experience the LDT faculty recommend that M.Ed. students complete this training early in their program.

Penn State's Scholarship and Research Integrity logoThe customized SARI training for M.Ed. in LDT students is delivered as a three-week series of fully online asynchronous modules. This is a non-credit training experience and there is no additional cost for our students. Students will spend about two hours per week reviewing and discussing materials. Training sessions are offered in the Fall and Spring terms—they are not offered during the Summer terms (please plan ahead). Students must sign-up in advance for their chosen training session.

The Spring 2017 SARI training schedule for M.Ed. in LDT students is: [Read more…]

Spring 2017 Course Registration Update – December

by

Golden autumn leaves on a tree with the Old Main bell tower in the backgroundThe registration for Spring 2017 courses offered by the LDT program for our degree and certificate students started off with a feverish burst but has now slowed to a trickle. With only two-thirds of our current students registered for their Spring 2017 courses, there are a substantial number of students who have yet to complete their Spring 2017 registration. In the coming weeks the LDT program faculty will consider eliminating course offerings due to low enrollment, so we encourage you to register as soon as possible.

Two Full, Others Open

by

Exclamation point icon surrounded by green globe.All students in LDT certificate or degree programs are eligible to register for Spring 2017 courses via LionPATH as of November 2, 2016. Please do not delay. By registering as soon as possible you improve the chances of registering for the courses that you seek, and the LDT faculty can gauge student needs and demands for courses. Early enrollment in the recent past has allowed us to add additional seats or sections of courses, and we will do our best to meet overall enrollment needs of the students in our programs. Early registration does not require an earlier payment of the tuition bill—students may register for courses and pay the tuition bill later.

To reiterate, please register for Spring 2017 courses today!

The table below shows our course offerings for Spring 2017. We have one course with the EDTEC prefix, while all other courses have the LDT prefix.
