Working Toward the ILT Competencies
Our graduate degrees are based on professional standards established by AECT (Association for Educational Communications and Technology) and ISTE (International Society for Technology and Education). To meet these professional standards, we have developed a set of ten competencies.
1. Adopt a reflective-practice stance to your work.
2. Conduct a needs assessment for learning or performance interventions.
3. Applying theory and best practices, conduct an analysis of learners, content and context for instruction, and design activities and experiences for learning
4. Accommodate the needs of diverse learners through media and technology.
5. Use tools and apply message-design principles to develop products and resources to support learning and performance.
6. Implement and evaluate effectiveness of programs, products, or practices.
7. Assess student/participant learning.
8. Utilize research methods to investigate a learning, organizational, or performance problem.
9. Manage a development or related project.
10. Participate in a change process and provide leadership in helping people adopt new technologies or practices.
Each of these competencies is demonstrated in a series of performance-based assessments IPBAs), integrated into coursework and projects. An online assessment system, LiveText, is used to assist you in demonstrating these competencies. Consult with your academic advisor for a current set of PBA rubrics.
