密歇根大学安娜堡分校

The Design and Technologies for Learning thread focuses on preparing professionals working with or creating content for learners across a wide variety of ages and instructional contexts. From school- age to adult education, students will integrate ideas from contemporary research in learning sciences and other theoretical perspectives on learning, literacy, culture, technology, and media to explore and actively practice the design, assessment, and application of educational practice in formal and informal settings. Students will also have opportunities to explore research that describes the cognitive processes and sociocultural practices at play as people construct, produce, use and understand information. Students become knowledgeable in, and gain the ability to, examine theory, research, and design with a critical eye towards improving outcomes for all learners.
