Digital Instructional Design Can Be Your Blueprint for Success
The infusion of 21st-century technology has revolutionized how we learn, resulting in a demand for individuals who can create engaging and meaningful educational experiences for others through digital and online mediums. Instructional architects might also:
Implement and analyze digital instructional design techniques and tools.
Support strategic training and development goals to drive organizational success.
Measure the effectiveness of a variety of teaching methods.
Transfer knowledge to diverse audiences.
What will I learn in this certificate program?
The Graduate Certificate in Digital Instructional Architecture is designed for modern learners who want to broaden their skills in instructional design and program development in the technology-driven, online-learning environment. Students do not need prior instructional design experience, but they -- along with students who do have a formal background in education, training, or adult learning -- will gain an advanced understanding of designing and building effective, state-of-the-art online curriculum.
The program covers the spectrum of digital instructional modalities, including:
- Practical, hands-on education technology training.
- Real-world knowledge application through internships.
- Analytical skills to tailor educational experience to the learner.
The transcribable, nationally recognized certificate serves as a stackable credential -- credits earned can count toward a future master’s degree.
As an instructional designer, you can work in almost any industry because organizations need to continually train and develop their employees.
