Theory and Practice

The Master of Science Program in Instructional Technology (iMSIT) at the University of Bridgeport prepares students for three careers related to the discipline of Instructional Technology:

• Teaching using technology in the classroom
• Training using technology in business or industry
• Development of educational software applications

Unique to the program are its cohort-basis, whereby students are selectively admitted as a group to complete curriculum requirements.

The cohort approach offers participants the benefits of shared experience and peer support in learning. Construction of a comprehensive project ePortfolio is a unifying endeavor in all coursework.

The iMSIT curriculum is presented via blended instructional delivery—a combination of live instruction (one-weekend-a-month) and online interaction via text/audio/video conferencing.

The requirement of a standard issue tablet computer with wireless networking capability and standardized software bundle is another hallmark of the program.
