Learn all about the design, implementation and evaluation of learning scenarios in schools and organisations.
How do you make sure that everyone – from primary school children to adults – gets the development they deserve? In this Master’s, you will learn all about theories of learning and assessment, learning technologies – such as serious games – effective training approaches and learning interventions. Research, design and consultancy are all deeply woven throughout this entire study programme.
From advising organisations to designing instruction materials, this Master’s provides you with hands-on experience through many (and diverse) real-life cases. You might design an instruction tool for residents of a retirement home who want to learn how to use a tablet, or you might write an actual advice report for an organisation that wants to implement e-learning tools in its development programmes. In all cases, you will turn scientific insights into meaningful solutions. You get taught by some of the best teachers and researchers in the field, as UT is leading in the field of Educational Science & Technology.
