Online Programs from the U of I
Ed.M. in Educational Policy Studies with emphasis in New Learning and New Literacies
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, College of Education
Program Information
This exciting, new online masterâs degree program is designed to help teachers create more engaging learning environments for their students, and to integrate new media and technologies into the classroom. New learning encourages students to be active designers of their own knowledge, in contrast to old teaching, in which knowledge was handed down to them.
New literacies let students use new, digital media to enhance the ways in which they learn and understand, thus improving the learning process.
Participants in the program will interact and collaborate with fellow learners in other geographical locations using todayâs social networking technologies. The program has been designed and coordinated by Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis, top scholars in the field. They are the authors of New Learning: Elements of a Science of Education, Cambridge University Press, 2008 and editors of Multiliteracies: Literacy Learning and the Design of Social Futures, Routledge, 2000.
