Dear Prospective Applicant,

We’d like to inform you that the deadline for admissions to the CTER Online Master of Education program has been extended to March 14, 2008. This deadline is for those who wish to begin our program in June 2008. The deadline for the spring 2009 cohort (beginning in January) will be in October.

CTER is both an exciting and rigorous program that offers courses that will let you experience advanced learning technologies first-hand. Not only that, we offer courses that will teach you how to integrate technology and also carry out educational reform through grant writing and program evaluation. Students have applied the technology and skills they learned directly into their classrooms and schools where they teach.

While our courses are geared towards practicing teachers in K-12, college-level instructors, technology coordinators, school administrators, and those involved in private or commercial learning sectors have successfully completed our program as well. Since CTER courses are project-based, you will have opportunities to develop projects based on your professional interests.

Courses are held in Moodle, a course management system that allows you to interact with course content, instructors, and other fellow students. Most courses also have an audio-visual chat session once a week using Elluminate (http://elluminate.com). Please feel free to visit our Technologies & Tutorials site to see what technologies we use for our courses.

Our graduates become leaders in technology integration and become equipped skills and the knowledge to carry out educational reform. If you’d like to join us, begin the application process at http://www.grad.uiuc.edu/admissions/apply/.
