Certificate - Knowledge of e-learning systems can open up a number of new
work opportunities. The growth in e-learning has increased dramatically over
the past 10 years in almost every institution of higher education, large company,
and school district. The movement into online education and e-learning has resulted
in a significant need for practitioners (e.g., administrators, training managers,
instructional designers/technologists, and instructors) who can knowledgeably
take a lead in these efforts. This certificate program consists of 5 graduate
level courses which will train students to be leaders by learning to: analyze
e-learning needs; apply learning theory, instructional theory, and system theory
to developing e-learning programs ; lead and manage e-learning technology teams;
manage online training/distance learning organizations and e-learning technology
projects; and provide timely advice on current and emerging technologies. This
is a fully online program with no campus residency requirements.
