Master of Arts

(Information Technology in Education and Training)

The Master of Arts (Information Technology and Training) is aimed at those who wish to develop information and communication technology application for training and educational contexts. It is a professional development program which introduces the design process for multimedia and how the Internet and other computer mediated learning can support learning. Other topics covered in the program include: the design of CD-Rom products, digital media projects, cognition and interface design, using websites and networks for learning and the evaluation of technology based learning systems. It differs from the MEd program in that no formal educational background is required for entry. Students should hold a recognised Bachelors degree and have access to a training or educational context in which to undertake course projects. For further information contact Professor John Hedberg. In 2002 this degree will only be available by distance.
