What is Learning Design and Technology?
JMU Learning Design and Technology graduate programs prepare leaders in any workplace in the application of technologies, strategies, research, and theories, to learning contexts. Our students and alumni work in K-12 schools, higher education institutions and other lifelong/professional learning contexts, in the education sector, for government agencies and contractors, etc. Some individuals pursue doctoral work upon completion of the graduate programs, and while many students are working adults, we also welcome students directly from any undergraduate program.
