State Institute of Educational Technology
State Institute of educational technology has been set up in six states
such as Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Orissa and Uttar Pradesh
in order to implement the INSAT for education project effectively. These
institutes are functioning under the administrative control of the SCERT in
some states and in the Directorate of Education in other states.
The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) renders financial
assistance of SIETs. The State Council of Education Research and Training
(SCERTs) are mainly expected to implement the educational technology projects
utilizing all kinds of modem media, methods and materials.
Now-a-days, more emphasis is given to the production of
ETV programmes for the children in the age group 5-8 and 9-11 years and
teachers of primary schools. Recently, it has taken up specific programmes for
providing audio and video materials for supporting educational movements of
Total Literacy Campaigns (TLC) and Universalization of Primary Education.
Training
The technology-rich learning activities of
today’s organizations require leaders that can guide the integration of
instructional technologies with traditional classroom instruction as well as
distance education (or e-learning). In
response, the graduate certificate in Training & Educational Technology
provides leaders from varied professional backgrounds (including the public and
private sector) with the foundational knowledge and skills required to
effectively lead organizations in the application of technologies in their
learning activities. From
conducting a needs analysis to applying the systematic design of instruction to
evaluating the role of technology in leadership development and the assessment
of distance education (or e-learning) opportunities, the Certificate prepares
students to apply the theories, principles, models, and tools of instructional
technology and distance education in diverse organizational settings.
Throughout this completely online certificate program students have numerous
opportunities to integrate their professional experiences into their learning,
apply their course assignments to their current professional activities, and
actively engage with other professionals in the development of valued
technology leadership proficiencies. Delivered
100% online, the NC State Graduate Certificate in Teaching, Training, &
Educational Technology consists of five 3-credit courses focused on teaching,
training, and the use of technology in a variety of educational environments.
Students can tailor the program to meet their needs and gain the knowledge and
skills necessary to design and deliver course-related content though
face-to-face, technology-enhanced, and e-learning environments.
Program Description
The program is
designed for mid-career individuals who may be without
academic preparation for their current positions, or for those choosing to
increase their knowledge and for future job opportunities.
Students may choose one of the following specialty areas
described below.To be awarded the Certificate, all required courses must be
taken and one elective is allowed. Transfer credit from other institutions is
not allowed.
Admission Requirements
We accept students
from a wide range of educational backgrounds.To qualify for admissions,
applicants must have a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of
higher education in any field. International applicants must also have a TOEFL
score of 80 or higher. Admission decisions are made based on several criteria
including undergraduate GPA, work history, and interest in the field.
The Certificate is a “Graduate” certificate program, meaning
applicants must have an undergraduate degree from an accredited four-year
college or university. Students with Associates degrees from two-year community
colleges are not eligible. It may help to think of the certificate as a step
between an undergraduate degree and a graduate degree (although those already
holding a graduate degree are welcome to apply). Up to 12 hours of course work
taken in the certificate program may be applied, under certain circumstances,
to a graduate degree at NC State. Admission to the certificate program,
however, carries no guarantee that a student will be admitted to the Graduate
School in any degree program. Such decisions are made separately from the
certificate admissions process. Graduate students at NC State who are already
enrolled in a degree program are eligible to earn the certificate in addition
to their degree.
