Critical Technology and Digital Media for Learning Certificate

This CriT-DML certificate program seeks to deepen students’ understanding of how we use digital media and technology to communicate, create, design, collaborate, teach, learn, and assess within a range of educational contexts. Through this program, course facilitators and students will work collaboratively to interrogate, deconstruct, and think critically about how we produce and use digital media and technology in education and society. To intentionally work toward equity, justice, and freedom, we seek to design learning experiences that center and support people and human processes. This certificate program is designed for educators, instructional designers, administrators, leaders, school technology directors, technology curriculum specialists, or technologists who wish to broaden their understanding of and experience with digital media and technology applications for learning. Students should identify strongly with the School of Education’s mission/vision for equity and justice and apply this lens to their scholarship in the program. The CriT-DML certificate can be a doorway to expanded career opportunities in technology applications across and outside the field of education.

12 credits are required for this certificate program.
