The BA in Educational Studies and Digital Technology Program is for educators in settings outside of the formal K-12 Institutional context.
A message from the director We offer a Bachelor of Arts in Education Studies and Digital Technology, which is a totally online program with the ability to reach students anywhere in the world. The program addresses the expanding professional development needs of instructors at the opposite ends of the formal education system by offering two specializations, as well as a professionally oriented diploma program: • Adult Education and Digital Technology Specialization, which focuses on the intersection of digital technology use for educational purposes in corporate, governmental, community-based, and professional workplace environments. • Early Childhood Studies Specialization, which recognizes that there are many career opportunities for Early Childhood Education graduates who have a college diploma, related work experience, and a bachelor’s degree particularly if these students understand how to design and assess learning at different points across the life span and if they have digital technology skills. The ECS specialization will allow for the development of the knowledge, competencies, and skills associated with the education of those working with early years learners. • Designing Adult Education for the Digital Age Diploma which is a 6 course professional diploma based on the current AEDT specialization course offerings within the BA in ESDT program. The diploma is directed at meeting the growing professional development needs in service, corporate, government, NGO and education sectors. The diploma fosters the development of educational leaders who possess a specialized knowledge and competency base in adult education with a focus on digital technologies for learning. As the instructional demands of large institutions and organizations continue to grow outside the traditional K-12, university and college-based education system, and as human resources departments turn their attention to the economic benefits of just-in-time online learning opportunities, there is an increased need for individuals with the knowledge, competencies and skills associated with teaching and learning in alternative education environments in the digital age. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s (UOIT) BA in ESDT program intends to prepare a new kind of expert who is essential to the knowledge-based economy; an expert who possesses both a broad social understanding of educational contexts and the specialized knowledge and competency base with a focus in the use of digital technologies for learning. This program is designed with you in mind. It is built on UOIT’s strength in digital technology and Faculty of Education’s focus on learning and technology. Please let us know how we can help you continue along your career path! Sincerely, Dr. Roland van Oostveen Director, BA in ESDT
