Transcript Policies

Unofficial College Transcript Policy

Unofficial transcripts combined with a Transcript Request Form can be used for admission. Official transcripts are required within 60 days of the admissions decision or before non-attendance drops for the first set of matriculated classes, whichever comes first, and will prevent enrollment into future terms until all official transcripts have been received.

Before sending unofficial college transcripts, please make sure they include the following:

Your previous school’s name or logo printed on the document
Cumulative GPA
A list of completed courses and earned credit broken down by semester
Degree and date conferred (if applicable)

Frequently Asked Questions for the Educational Technology & Online Instruction M.Ed.

What is educational technology?

Educational technology is a specialized study of how to use cutting-edge technologies to build a better classroom from K-12 to the university level. With new digital tools coming to the market every day, education professionals find new ways to leverage these tools to create better learning environments for students at every level.

Teachers use technology to connect with students at the right age and learning level with tailored digital experiences. These tools can help improve learning in the classroom, help students without access to a classroom, and assess processes that make it easier for teachers to know how to help students learn.

Combined with instructional design, teachers and education professionals can build better curriculum and courses that reduce the time needed for mastery, increase comprehension, and increase retention of important information. This discipline is important for schools and invaluable to every other industry that needs to train employees quickly and effectively.

Where can I get a master’s in educational technology? Do I have to come to a campus?

Instructional designers often overcome challenges of distance using digital resources and tools. While earning your master’s of education in information technology, you can take advantage of those same advanced resources for your education. Liberty’s Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction – Educational Technology and Online Instruction is designed with your needs in mind, with a 100% online format that does not require any visits to campus.

Educational technology master’s programs teach the best methods for applying new technology to the classroom while building an innovative curriculum in an online environment. Whether you are a current teacher looking for new tools or want to work in business training, you can study how to create quality education through educational technology. Liberty University’s curriculum and instruction program can give you the skills and knowledge you need.

What can I do with a master’s in educational technology?

A master’s degree in educational technology can open many doors for your career in either business or education. Instructional designers and technology consultants bridge the gap between learning needs in schools and learning needs in corporate and government organizations. Wherever there is a need for faster, more efficient, and more effective learning programs, education technology experts can shine.

If you currently have a career in teaching, schools and school districts often need specialists who can help them adapt to technology trends. They need professionals who can create new e-learning initiatives, assess the effectiveness of digital resources, and find ways to connect with students through digital engagement.

Especially in cases where crises require schools to suddenly shift to online schooling with thousands of students, schools need to have online instruction specialists to find the best ways to meet students’ needs. Similarly, universities are steadily moving toward more integration of online tools, resources, and online programs. Traditional institutions often struggle to adapt to online learning, and there is a great need for educators with online instruction expertise.

You will also find that in most corporate environments, there is a great need for learning technology experts. Businesses and government organizations need professionals who can design, build, and assess programs that can help their workforce meet new regulations. The same principles of learning that help students in traditional classrooms thrive also help employees learn and integrate important training. You can have the flexibility to engage in many fields of digital learning with an online instructional technology master’s degree from Liberty University.
