Re: [pakgrid] Masters in Innovative Technologies in Education (MsITE)

 

Dear Dr. Arshad Ali,
 
Its really great to hear about this program and i have seen 2 similiar programs in malaysia.
One in multimedia university malaysia, calld "Master in eLearning" and 2nd is from Open university malaysia
"Master in Instructional Design".
 
The program is great but the focus should be not only education, the scope of eLearning is vast and some
of the commerical training areas should also be covered with general eLearning techniques and mehtodologies for
adults and commercial areas.
 
I am working in this area around 10 years mainly on educational technologies and eLearning mainly on learning
management systems and other educational support systems and multimedia content development.
 
Just a question, is this going to be offered from Islamabad campus or any chance to participate it remotely from Lahore.
 
Again appreciate the new initiative and best of luck in this regard.
 
 
Regards,
Muhammad Hasan

Dear All,

NUST is launching a new program "Masters in Innovative Technologies in Education (MsITE)" whic will be a two year long (30 credit hours) semester based program starting this fall at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science within NUST . A background is technology and/or education is recommended but not required. Most courses require lab work and group projects and you will be spending your final semester working on your Master's Thesis. The details are available at the following link     http://ite.seecs.nust.edu.pk/root/


This newly started graduate program will provide a design space for mixing and matching of diverse disciplines and research areas thus creating disruptive technologies at the innovative edge of psychology, information technology, graphic design, story telling and drama. It will provide a practical forum to look beyond the obvious, to ask questions not yet asked and to provide innovative solutions that could dramatically improve the way people learn - not only for those who go to a school but also those who can not attend a conventional school.
Educational innovation, driven by a need for continuing education in the labor force, is transforming the global industrial landscape. Moreover, this need has also put a lot of stress on producing dynamic and diverse educational entrepreneurs as well as researchers who can steer the next revolution in education.  We are the first program in Pakistan that will address the deficiency of such individuals and aim to create graduates with the ability to "Learn, Think, Apply, Innovate and Educate".

Educational Objectives:

  • To develop entrepreneurial innovations in educational practice
  • To evaluate technology's impact on learning and developmetnt
  • To excel in designing interactive media content and learning applications

Target Industry:


Graduates of this program shall be sought after in the following capactities

  • Interactive text book design
  • Schools
  • Games and Interactive media
  • Online education companies
  • Instructional designer, online training
  • Animation development, children's and adults educational television network
  • Educational start-ups
  • War games design and development

May I request feedback on the need and enhancing quality for this program.

Best regards
