Students will challenge the future of learning by re-examiningthe goals of education and assessment and making innovative change. Through case studies and confronting real world problems, students will learn toengineer and implement effective educational solutions. Students will employ "in vivo" experiments and educational data mining techniques and be trained in how to develop continuous improvement programs that reliably identify both best practices and opportunities for change. Students will gain expertise in psychometric and educational data mining methods, interaction design, cognitive and social psychology principles, design, implementation, and evaluation of educational interventions. Graduates of the program are expected to become leaders in the educational technology revolution. They will be ready to take key positions in corporations and private and public universities and schools. Graduates will be prepared to become designers, developers, and evaluators of educational technologies as well as learning engineers, curriculum developers, learning technology policy-makers, and even chief learning officers.
