Master of Arts in Education Educational Technology

The Educational Technology programme is a 1-year online programme designed to provide an opportunity for professional development to people who are working in positions that involve teaching and wish to use educational technology more effectively in their work. The programme may prove to be especially useful to people currently working at educational institutions (schools, universities, etc.) who did not have a chance to gain digital technology skills and knowledge during their studies. The fl exibility of the programme and major focus on e-learning make it especially well-suited to those of you who go to work – whether it be outside of Tartu or in an-other country. Major emphasis is put on teamwork to foster students’ skills of collaboration and help them develop a network of colleagues to rely on in their professional life. The programme is characterised by a problem-based approach and a large amount of practical training. It is mostly online-based and taught entirely in English, which is a good opportunity to those who work, regardless of their location.
