Spring 2017 Course Registration Update – November

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.

Announcing the New e-Learning Design Certificate

by

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.
