Master of Learning Science & Technology Program
The Master of Learning Science & Technology (MLS&T) is an innovative masters program in e-learning practice and research that is founded on principles for design, management and innovation informed by the Learning Sciences. The program is hands-on and project-based, and offers two streams to cater to two unique groups:
1. Professionals in e-learning
The Professional stream is designed for those who work or wish to work in the field of e-learning within companies, government organisations or educational institutions. It is intended to help those seeking to advance their careers in the field of ICT-supported learning by providing them with expert knowledge, structured experience, and an internationally recognised qualification.
It is suited to individuals wishing to work as managers, designers, advisors, educators or specialists in technology supported learning. It includes core subjects in the psychology and design of e-learning, emerging educational technologies, as well as change management, organisational learning and systems thinking.
2. Researchers of ICT-supported learning
The Research stream is intended for those who wish to do research in ICT-supported learning and are likely to progress to a PhD in the field. It includes degree core courses in the psychology and design of technology-supported learning, emerging educational technologies, and research frontiers. This stream includes a dissertation on a topic of your choice.
What do we mean by “e-learning” and “Learning Sciences"?
E-learning, ICT-supported learning, technology-based education – there are a lot of ways to describe the convergence of modern technology with learning and teaching. By e-learning, we mean the many different ways in which information and communication technology (ICT) is being used to support people’s learning from the classroom to the workplace.
How can technology improve learning? There are a lot of myths, fads, and buzzwords out there, but there is also a growing trove of research-based principles and successful practice, founded in the work of the Learning Sciences. The Learning Sciences are the many disciplines, including cognitive science, computer science, psychology and education that contribute to our understanding of learning.
