The 18-credit DDLS graduate certificate prepares P-12 teachers to design digital learning experiences for today’s classrooms and to assume leadership roles in implementing, supervising, managing, and integrating technology in schools.

The graduate certificate focuses on the interaction of design, technology, and content learning to influence P-12 teachers’ classroom practices in ways that promote their students’ abilities to problem solve, use information, participate productively in communities, become knowledgeable in disciplinary content, effectively communicate, and make ethical decisions.

The courses in this graduate certificate are offered in a cohort-based, blended format, providing both in-person and online experiences. The cohort provides students the opportunity to form close, supportive relationships with others in the graduate certificate during discussions and collaborative projects.

All of the DDLS graduate certificate courses can be applied to the Master’s concentration in Learning Technologies in Schools.

What You'll Learn

In the DDLS graduate certificate, P-12 teachers will investigate the theory and practice of digital learning, connect digital learning and knowledge outcomes, apply school-based design principles and processes to inform practice, and use a range of technologies appropriate for P-12 teachers.

Additionally, course work and learning activities engage teachers as leaders and advocates for digital learning.

What Are Possible Careers?

Graduates of the DDLS graduate certificate are prepared to assume leadership roles in implementing, supervising, managing, and integrating technology in schools.
