Educational Technology is a diversified area of study, concerned with the design, implementation, and assessment of contemporary technologies to enhance education and training. The Department of Technology and Society within the College of Engineering and Applied Science creates educators and trainers who can effectively apply new technologies to enhance education and training. Graduate students develop the knowledge and techniques necessary to analyze the learning needs and goals of their audience; develop and design instructional materials and activities; and assess and evaluate those activities.

Our program emphasizes the: a) use of modern technologies in schools, colleges, business and other areas, b) research, and evaluation of educational technologies, c) alignment with national and New York state educational technolgy standards, and d) ethical and societal issues associated with the use of technology.

This program will prepare you with the skills and knowledge necessary to complete the NYState Educational Technology Specialist certification exam. To see the content of the exam go to http://www.nystce.nesinc.com/PDFs/NY_fld71_objs.pdf

Selected courses are offered as traditional evening classes and as web-based syncrhronous and asynchronous distance learning coursesto reach students who find it difficult to attend classes on campus.Through contracts, classes are offered at extension/teaching centers in several location on Long Island.

The Advanced Graduate Certificate (AGC) program was designed to provide professionals in all fields with the necessary expertise to use technological concepts and devices to improve the performance and management of learning environments.
