Description:
For the past several years, the Instructional Technology
faculty at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville have been
working toward the implementation of an online Masters's degree
program in Instructional Technology. During this planning and
design phase, the faculty reviewed similar online programs at
Virginia Tech and The University of Illinois as well as the current
literature describing such efforts at a variety of schools around
the world. The University of Tennessee is now supporting such
new program development efforts and the Instructional Technology
faculty are actively working to secure approval to initiate such a
program.
