Computer Interaction Institute and the Psychology Department is designed
for individuals with backgrounds in computer science, psychology,
education, design, information technology, and business.  It trains
students to design, develop and evaluate evidenced-based programs for
learning in settings that range from schools to workplaces, museums to
computer-based environments as well as other formal, informal and
non-traditional educational settings.

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.
