M.Ed. Degree Program Choices

by

Students currently enrolled in the 33-credit M.Ed. in LDT—Educational Technology Option program are eligible to transition to the 30-credit M.Ed. in LDT (no option) program. However, such a move does not benefit every student. Anyone who moves to the 30-credit program will be required to complete all of the 30-credit program’s requirements, which may in turn require more courses to be completed than if the student simply continued their 33-credit program. Ultimately, students in the Ed Tech Option should be aware that making the transition is possible, but any consideration of the transition should be made with the consultation of your advisor and Dr. Kirby. If you have questions about this, please ask your advisor.

LDT at PETE&C

by

The LDT program will be exhibiting at the Pennsylvania Educational Technology Exposition and Conference (PETE&C) in Hershey, Pennsylvania (USA) on February 21 to 24. We would love to have current LDT World Campus students work with us at our booth to talk with prospective students and industry professionals about our online programs. We also hope to have a meet-up of all LDT students and faculty who are attending the event. So, if you’re planning to attend PETE&C, please write to Dr. Kirby.
