Greetings to all LDT students! Now that we have progressed through a few weeks of the Spring term, we can begin to think about the next term ahead of us. Registration for Summer 2020 courses with the LDT Program is open now to all students across all categories. Registration for Fall 2020 courses will begin in late March. Here’s the timetable for registration dates:
Students enrolled in the M.Ed. in LDT program who have completed 15 or more credits are invited to enroll in our new edition of LDT 835 — Supervised Field Experience in Online Instruction.

NEW Course for M.Ed. in LDT Students in Spring 2020
Class 29993, 3 credits
Many courses about learning technology focus on how it can be harnessed for good. This online course starts from the assumption that good outcomes are never guaranteed—that the use of technology for learning, or any other purpose, always entails a struggle between good and evil.
The LDT Online Programs faculty is pilot testing a new online course titled LDT 897 – Learning Technologies for Good and Evil. The course is appropriate for our advanced M.Ed. in LDT students, especially those who have completed more more than 5 courses in our online program.
The majority of LDT Online students are employed, engaged with other commitments, and also study with us part-time. Much of our students’ work happens outside of normal work hours. Although help from a program faculty or staff member might not be readily available at 11:35 PM, your program questions may still get answered. Use the search box on the blog for student to see what happens. Try a few keywords like “advisement” or “graduation” or SARI or capstone and see what hits in the search results. Also visit the pages that are linked across the top menu of our blog, such as LDT Courses or New Student Info or Documents.
Dr. Kirby aims to write and post answers to the most pressing questions facing every student. See what you can find!
Our LDT Online blog for students is able to send a notification by email each time we make a new post. It is extremely handy, and will enable you to have the most rapid access to program-related information. Receive the blog update notifications before we prepare and send the email newsletter.
To sign up for email notifications of blog updates, visit the ldtonline.psu.edu blog site and look for the BLOG UPDATES BY EMAIL! signup box in the right-hand column.

Dear College of Education students,
I am writing to inform you that LionPATH will undergo a system upgrade over the July 4th weekend. To perform this upgrade, the system will be offline from 9:00 a.m. (ET) on July 4th through noon (ET) on Sunday, July 7th. Anyone who attempts to log in during that time will be redirected to the LionPATH Support website.
Greetings all! We’re rolling into the Summer 2019 term. The spring-t0-summer transition is always a hot one for us—we attend graduation on Sunday, and open the summer courses on Monday.
Registration for Summer 2019 courses is drawing to a close. Some sections are full, some have wait lists, and some are ready for enrollment. Contact your assigned academic advisor or Dr. Kirby with questions about course selection.
