The University of Michigan, through the School of Education and Human Services on the Flint campus, is pleased to offer the Technology in Education Global Program, with courses to be offered in Geneva, Switzerland, and online.  The first cohort began in May, 2007, and applications will be accepted through mid-November, 2008, for a second cohort beginning in May, 2009.

The Global Program is a 15-month program leading to a master's degree emphasizing meaningful use of technology for teaching topics of global importance.  The program includes two 3-week summer residencies in Geneva, with all other coursework offered online.  The program is appropriate for anyone interested in the potential of educational technology at a global level, and it is ideal for educators preparing to take leading roles in schools, colleges, non-governmental organizations, cultural institutions, businesses, and other organizations poised to use technology for educational purposes.

Building on over 30 years of research and development at the University of Michigan in the use of technology in education, participants learn to design innovative technology-mediated experiences for learners.  Working with partners drawn from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other international institutions, participants design, pilot, and evaluate new educational activities that connect learners to current knowledge and issues.

Please contact us if you are interested in applying to future cohorts.
