The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) offers graduate programs for both full- and part-time students leading to the degrees of:

- M.A. - Master of Arts (Education and Digital Technologies

- M.Ed. - Master of Education (Education and Digital Technologies)

- Graduate Diploma (Education and Digital Technologies)

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

In the MA and MEd programs in the field of Education and Digital Technologies, students take a selection of required core and elective courses to complete a total of 30 credits of work. Students interested in a more general MEd can take courses in a variety of key areas. As part of the 30 credits, students in the MA program complete a thesis and in the MEd students complete a project or portfolio.

For the Graduate Diploma (Education and Digital Technologies), students complete four courses in education and digital technologies for a total of 12 credits.

While some of the program activities may be available in a hybrid (combination of online and face-to face) fashion, students enrolled in all graduate programs in Education and Digital Technologies will take their courses online. This includes a strong component of video conferencing meetings where students get an opportunity to speak directly with their professors and colleagues in full video and sound, and with multimedia capabilities, on a weekly basis. All of this from the comfort of their own home, anywhere in the world.

It is the intention of the UOIT Faculty of Education to make these programs as widely available as possible to anyone meeting the requirements. Therefore, in some cases when resources, infrastructure and circumstances permit, it may be possible for some students to participate any face-to-face components at a distance, using videoconferencing technology.
