Western's Department of Instructional Design and Technology has become a national leader in instructional technology, distance learning and interactive multimedia through its well-rounded yet highly focused curriculum.

Specifically, the program is designed around the following four areas:

1. The design and production of training programs.



2. Media production of instructional and training programs, including digital video, digital graphics, interactive multimedia, Web page design, multi-image slides and electronic presentations.



3. Technology applications in training, including latest hardware and software applications.



4. Technology-based delivery systems such as computer-based instruction, CD-ROM, video, and the Internet/WWW.

One of the unique and most exciting aspects of the IDT program is that while you will be well-grounded in the various aspects of instructional development and technology, you can choose to concentrate with your electives.

So, whether you want to design web pages, work in human resources or plan and produce software and/or training videos, the program has the resources and the courses to support your career goals.
