Program of study planning sheet
The Department of Instructional Technology is one of eight academic units in Utah State University's College of Education & Human Services. The program is designed to prepare students for careers involving distance learning.
Among the areas of growth and change in education, few are having the impact of distance learning. Today's technologies make it possible for students to participate in a wide variety of learning experiences despite the barriers of time and distance. Experiences that allow students to exchange ideas and access information all across the world are becoming commonplace through the use of computer networks and satellite technologies.
Utah has been a pioneer in distance learning. Since 1985, the Utah Education Network (UEN) has connected schools through EDNET and UtahLINK. Over 5000 students participate annually. Around the state, there continues to be a growing interest in distance learning and a demand for additional teacher preparation. The Utah State Office of Education, in conjunction with the College of Education & Human Services (CEHS) at Utah State University (USU), offers an endorsement in distance learning to meet the demand for well-qualified distance educators.
To apply for the USOE distance learning endorsement, students must have a current and valid Utah teaching license. The complete list of state requirements may be found at http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/cert/endorsements/DISTLEAR.htm
