The IDeaTE M.Ed. Program

Innovative Design and Technology in Education (IDeaTE) is a master of education degree program for students interested in learning how to create and study interactive learning environments leveraging learning theories, human-centered design, learning analytics, and learning technologies. The goals of the program are to gain knowledge and skills in:

1. How people learn,
2. How contexts and tools, like AI, analytics and other emerging technologies, influence learning, and,
3. How to design learning environments and activities that are responsive to learners’ and community partners’ needs.

The program is centered around three main cores of education: learning, design, and analysis. The learning core focuses on theories of learning and their application and implications across different settings. The design core explores emerging learning technologies through a human centered design process. The analysis core focuses on systematic evaluation and program research efforts, including learning analytics that focus on program development and an iterative design process.
