Educational Technology is one area of specialization within the Graduate Division of Educational Research (GDER) in the Faculty of Education at the University of Calgary.

Students have the opportunity to investigate a broad spectrum of instructional design and development techniques as they apply to newer technologies and to explore new directions in instructional design and development as they emerge in the literature.

This degree program addresses the human and instructional dimensions of educational technology. It emphasizes the analytic and design skills required for effective instructional practices, products and programs. Attention to research and theory is balanced by application and students are encouraged to select and design projects relevant to their chosen professional environments.
