Do you want to begin a new, innovative, enjoyable career in Instructional Design (ID)? IDs work on a collaborative team using digital technologies to develop educational and/or training materials. Are you a current or future K12 teacher who wants to improve your course design, integrate technology into your classroom to enhance your student’s learning, and improve your chances for pay increase and promotion? The Wright State University M.Ed. in Instructional Design and Learning Technologies (IDL) is an entirely online master’s degree that is great for both environments. Graduates from this program gain the skills needed for jobs such as:

1. Become a More Effective Instructor:

2. Instructional Designer:
   You can switch careers and become an instructional designer in many different areas (e.g., corporate, higher education, K-12 education, military, nonprofit, and more), working on a team to develop training and educational courses.
3. Talent Development:
   This degree will help you learn how to design training programs to help develop the talent and skills of employees.
4. Training:
   Graduates of this program become trainers who provide professional development workshops.
5. Just-in-Time  (JIT) Training Material:

How to Apply:

Here are several ways to apply to the M.Ed. IDL degree:

• Apply for a Graduate Degree: If you already have your undergraduate degree or are about to graduate, you can start your M.Ed. IDL program, then complete ten classes to earn their master’s degree. Apply through the Wright State Graduate School. Cohorts can begin in the Fall A or Spring A term.
• Apply for a Second Graduate Degree: If you already have a master’s or doctorate, students can earn an M.Ed. IDL with only eight classes. Apply through the Wright State Graduate School. Cohorts can begin in the Fall A or Spring A term. Many people with a doctorate (or working on a doctorate) complete this degree to gain expertise in teaching, pedagogies, learning technologies, instructional design, and online class development.
• Apply for Senior Permission: High-achieving undergraduate students (Policy 5330.2) close to their senior year may apply to take IDL graduate courses during their senior year. These undergraduate students may apply (Graduate Course Permission Form) to take up to four IDL graduate classes (IDL-7110 Fall A, IDL-7120 Fall B, IDL-7130-Spring A, and IDL-7140 Spring B) prior to graduation. These classes do not replace undergraduate classes but give students a head start on earning their graduate degree.
