The Instructional Technology (IT) Program at George Mason University provides professionals with the specialized knowledge and skills needed to apply a wide range of computer and telecommunications technologies in achieving educational goals within school, community and corporate/public settings. The program consists of three tracks -
- Instructional Design and Development - Track 1
- Integrating Technology in Schools - Track 2
- Assistive Technology - Track 3
All three program tracks combine current theoretical foundations of technology development and integration with practical hands-on experiences in using state of art technologies. The IT program serves professional educators and related service personnel from public and private pre-college and post-secondary institutions, as well as those involved in instructional design, development, and training in government and the private sector.
