Graduate Studies in Education and Digital Technologies
A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Thank you for considering the Faculty of Education at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) for your graduate-level education. We offer both full- and part-time studies, leading to the degrees of:
:: M.A. - Master of Arts (Education and Digital Technologies)
:: M.Ed. - Master of Education (Education and Digital Technologies); and
:: Graduate Diploma (Education and Digital Technologies)
Education as a concept is rapidly changing in its objectives, content and modalities. The role of technology in this dynamic
process has been, so far, both deep and broad. It has transformed the way we think, work, live, socialize and learn. Our social
economy is moving from industrial models to collective intelligence development. As this fundamental shift occurs, there is a need for specialists in education who understand both the global and specific roles and impacts that technology has on learning. Society also needs these individuals to be in positions where they can offer the kind of informed leadership that is necessary to prepare future generations for an ever-evolving reality.
At UOIT, the graduate programs in Education are designed specifically to prepare you to be future leaders and specialists in learning and technology, and able to meet the needs of your constituents within this social context. Our Master of Education, Master of Arts and Graduate Diploma, all in the fields of Education and Digital Technologies are unique programs and at the leading edge in both their objectives and approaches to learning online. Not only do these programs deal with the most recent issues around the interactions between digital technology and education, but the professors do so using approaches that favour collaborative learning, co-construction of knowledge and peer tutoring.
Finally, all this is designed with you in mind and built on the university's institutional strength in digital technology and the Faculty of Education's focus on learning with technology. Please let us know how we can help as you continue along your path to graduate studies!
Sincerely,
Dr. François Desjardins
Associate Dean, Director of Graduate Studies
UOIT Faculty of Education
