What degree/certificate programs exist?

Feb 10, 2011

Got this question from a blog reader:

"As part of our development, a few of us in the OD department are looking into programs/certifications that will help us as we move from producing on-demand learning events to creating learning that is part of a learning plan. Can you recommend any programs"

Hi Nicholle,

I completed my Masters in Education/Instructional Design over 10 years ago and in 2012 I attended the UW Stout and completed the online certificate program as a professional development opportunity for myself. I thought the program was excellent. The instructors were very engaged with the students and invested in their success.

I teach the capstone course in the E-Learning Instructional Design certificate program at University of California, Irvine. Judging by the caliber of students who come through my practicum, it is a good program.

I'm an experienced K12 virtual school teacher with experience in brick and mortar classrooms as well. I've taken coursework in general and online pedagogy and instructional design, but I don't have any experience using a program like Articulate Storyline. Where can I go to learn, specifically, how to use authoring tools, like Storyline?

Hi all

Long time lurker, first time poster!

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts and/or experience with the Grad Cert at USQ, preferably the online one or just anything in general:

I also saw one at UTAS but bad website design sending me nine clicks down to find a price is an instant turn-off so didn't even bother posting it here haha!

I am starting a degree in ID this fall. I am looking at several online programs and would appreciate any comments. I would like a progam that offers a certificate leading to a masters, or possible badges within a masters program. I also want to keep my options open for higher ed or corporate jobs. I also want to avoid a program that is K12 heavy. Can anyone comment on the following programs?

Purdue University

University of Illinois

Lenoir-Rhyne University

Saint Leo University

Western Oregon University

Any other schools I should consider?

Kari, I believe I am looking at the same program at Purdue (the online Master of Science in Education in Learning Design and Technology). Just curious - which program did you end up selecting, and do you have any additional insight into the Purdue program?

I had a phone consultation with them last week, and I am quite impressed with them so far. The program seems well-rounded, and they are offering several new courses in 2016 so I like how it is evolving to contain new information as well. I am considering applying to begin next fall.

I ended up at Boise State, and I am enjoying the program. I was looking for
a program that would allow me to earn a graduate certificate along the way.

Hey need some guidance. I have been a project manager at an E-Learning company and wanted to pursue my education in this field. I have found that this course recommendation comes up a lot. Is this the right direction https://coned.georgebrown.ca/courses-and-certificates/instructing-adults-certificate/.

If not can you please recommend some courses which will help me get to the next level.

If you would like a "non-commitment discussion" by phone over options regarding the benefits of a graduate degree (M.Ed.) in Instructional Technology, I'm available during my office hours: http://ulm.edu/~beutner/index.html#Office
