Coker College launches Master of Education Curriculum and Instructional Technology program
Coker College is launching a brand new graduate program under the Wiggins School of Education: the Master of Education in Curriculum and Instructional Technology. This advanced degree will serve both educators and non-educators who wish to focus their careers in curriculum and technology in educational settings.
Coker has created this online program to prepare graduates for a wide variety of subject areas. There is an increased demand for instructional technology knowledge and the M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instructional Technology was designed to provide expertise in digital-age learning.
“In society, technology is everywhere we look, and students will need to be able to manipulate and adapt to technology in their future careers and adult life. Therefore, it is imperative that individuals who work with students or children not only know how to use educational technology themselves, but know how to teach students and children to use technology effectively,” said Assistant Professor Casey Gilewski.
The M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instructional Technology program is offered exclusively online. Tracy Parkinson, Provost and Dean of the College, expressed excitement for the opportunity.
“I am very proud of the expertise and enthusiasm of the Wiggins School faculty, and I believe their commitment to effective teaching and learning shines in this new program,” he said.The program covers foundations of education; developmental theory; curriculum creation and digital tools for K-12 education.
