The Education and Technology MA offers you the opportunity to develop both theoretical and practical approaches to education and technology in both campus and distance learning modes. You will develop the skills to design, use and critically appraise education and technology including artificial intelligence, across a wide range of settings (e.g., schools, universities, professional contexts, informal learning environments) and learn to adopt a research-based approach that equips you for a variety of careers in the education and technology field. Based at the UCL Knowledge Lab, you will be supported by leading researchers in the field. The MA is based at the UCL Knowledge Lab, a ground-breaking research centre that uses the latest evidence to design and implement innovative educational technology and pedagogies that shape the future of education and learning. As such, students are supported by teaching staff who are all active researchers from a range of fields including education, sociology, interaction design, and computer science. This is a multi-disciplinary course that brings together students from a wide range of fields to explore the ways in which educational theory can be applied to the design, development, implementation and research of learning technologies. As such: educators learn to incorporate new technologies into their practice, developers and designers bring concepts and evidence from learning sciences into the design and evaluation of technologies, and, aspiring researchers build the skills for an academic career in this fast-moving field. Optional modules include topic areas such as learning design, design thinking, artificial intelligence and learning analytics, among others. While most tutors are based at the UCL Knowledge Lab, campus teaching is conducted at various UCL locations, including the IOE main building at 20 Bedford Way. It is expected that students in both campus-based and distance-learning modes attend all taught classes synchronously. This course attracts a wide range of teachers and lecturers, software developers and technicians, NGO workers, education managers and administrators, local authority advisors, information resource managers and entrepreneurs. It is suited to those seeking continuing professional development, as well as those aiming for a research degree and academic career. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
