waterrevolution Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hi! I hope everyone's doing well! I recently came across Instructional Technology and Media at TC, and I wanted to know if someone who is currently in the program or who has graduated from the program could tell me exactly what the program focuses on. My impression (based off of the name and the catalog for the Math, Science, & Technology Department) is that it focuses on technologies and media that complements instruction, like videos, simulations, and games. But, there's also a degree for designing and developing digital games at TC, so I'm confused. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Edugy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I graduated in 2014. I was pretty involved with the games research and classes, but it's less focued on digital game creation, and more focused on game design and gamification in education. The programs can go a couple ways depending on your interests. I had friends focused on becoming school technologists, instructional designers, and edtech. I was personally most focused on edtech. There's a bunch of overlaps with media studies in education as well. I think it really just depends on what you're interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
