Foundational research on the integration of digital technologies in teaching, training, and learning enables the candidate to consider the social, mental, and technical milieu of the digital medium in the second millennium. The candidate explores, through primary source literature and cyber artifacts, the continuum of thought that frames the past, present, and future understanding of instructional technology within education, corporate, personal, and societal contexts. This exploration leads to the candidates’ final project: a rigorous, webbased, well documented personal philosophy of instructional technology incorporating a
variety of digital media formats. This philosophy initiates each candidate’s web-based professional portfolio. Candidates are expected to make additions and revisions to this philosophy each succeeding semester as specified in the final portfolio requirements for the
degree. Field observations and experiences are required and integrated into the course.
