The Master of Arts program emphasizes the preparation of professionals who will design and produce, evaluate and use instructional materials and environments, based on cognitive science and constructivist views of learning and instruction, for various technologies: computer-based multimedia, network telecommunications, and television. This work applies to many content areas, types of learners, and settings in which media and technology are used for educational purposes, as described in the overview. Graduates of the Master of Arts program typically assume positions as educational media producers, instructional writers, designers, and trainers in the array of organization types described in the overview of the program, and as educational technology administrators and coordinators in K-12 schools (sometimes requiring Media Specialist Certification) and higher education.

Advisors for the Master of Arts program are Professor Francine Shuchat Shaw and Leonard Majzlin.
