The online graduate Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) certificate enables students to interrogate and discuss historical, contemporary, and emerging instructional design theories and models. Through this program, course facilitators and students will explore, discuss and apply critical pedagogy to instructional design practices. We will examine and discuss strategies that ground our instructional design praxis in design justice principles. We will broaden our understanding of instructional design to explore the possibilities of community-led design initiatives. We will use design justice principles and project management strategies to create and present instructional design artifacts for constructive peer review.
