Mission of ETF and Area of Instructional Technology

The Department of Educational Technology and Foundations is dedicated to excellence in teaching, research, and service with a focus on student success. Our mission is to prepare current and future educators to contribute to their profession through authentic learning experiences, active engagement, and innovative strategies relevant to contemporary learners. Our faculty provide opportunities for students to think deeply about learning, cognition, and the application of technologies to support learning in various environments. Our instructional technology programs prepare learning professionals in K-12, postsecondary, and industry contexts in the field of Instructional Design and Technology to design, develop, implement, and evaluate effective instruction. Our programs foster learners’ competencies to lead the design and enactment of innovative pedagogies and emerging technologies in diverse settings.

Our Students

Students in our programs seek to improve their knowledge, skills, and competencies related to instructional design and learning technologies. As such, students hail from both the P-12 (school) context and from other learning contexts (e.g., military, postsecondary, industry).

Our Programs

We offer an M.Ed. and an Ed.S. in Instructional Technology, Media, and Design (instructional technology concentration). These programs are embedded with a Georgia PSC credential called “Instructional Technology Certification.” We also offer a Georgia PSC credential called the “Online Teaching Endorsement.”
