Program Overview
The Graduate Certificate in Educational Technology (GCET) is intended for professionals who are responsible for managing and designing education and educational resources for online and blended learning in all learning contexts and at all levels (early childhood to adult).
Students who successfully complete courses to satisfy the requirements of the Graduate Certificate in Educational Technology program and are admitted to the Master of Educational Technology may request to ladder up to 15 of the certificate credits toward the requirements for the master’s program.
Admission Requirements
Applicants must meet the minimum admission requirements established by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Admission requirements, including English language proficiency requirements, will be the same as for the Master of Educational Technology (M.E.T.)
Program Requirements
Students must successfully complete five ETEC_V courses (15 credits). ETEC_V 500 is required and must be one of the first two courses taken.
Students must also complete one of the following core ETEC_V courses: ETEC_V 510, ETEC_V 511, ETEC_V 512. The remaining three courses may be selected from all available ETEC_V courses.
All courses will be delivered online.
Students may register in required courses each term at their own discretion.
Five years is the maximum period of time to complete a graduate certificate. If a graduate certificate is not awarded within a period of five years from initial registration, the student’s eligibility for the certificate will be terminated and the student will be required to withdraw from the program. Under exceptional circumstances, an extension to allow the student to continue in the program may be granted by the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
Students who find it necessary for parental, health, personal, professional, or academic reasons to interrupt their studies should seek approval from the Master of Educational Technology program.
