The MEd in Learning, Design, and Technology trains you in the latest technologies and tools to design and implement lessons and training programs. Our goal is to prepare professionals to identify and analyze learning problems, and then create and implement more effective designs for learning to address these needs.
The research and development-oriented master's degree track is designed to prepare you for doctoral-level study in educational technology research and for careers in academia and research.
This emphasis is located on the UGA main campus in Athens, although you have the opportunity to take courses offered from other concentrations (some of these may be online).
