Registered

So, yesterday I registered for courses. For anyone who's interested the programme website is: http://met.ubc.ca

In September I will be taking:

ETEC 511 Foundations of Educational Technology
ETEC 512 Applications of Learning Theories to Instruction

I decided to take a part-time course load to make working a little more manageable. The programme is already sending me links to job postings. If I wanted to, with this degree, I could work for 2 years in Bolivia as an instructional designer! I'm having a little "world is my oyster" moment.....lol

Ok. I got in. Now what?

So, I've been accepted into the Master of Educational Technology programme at University of British Columbia. I' m thrilled, of course, but I am starting to get nervous about completing a whole programme online. I think I will try to blog the whole process.

For myself, it will be a record of the next few years. How I integrated my education and working, what ideas and issues came up, and all the things that I can't even predict at this point. For everyone else? I don't know if this is going to be interesting to anyone. Online education is such a big, growing field. Educational technology is just going to become more and more available, and is certainly becoming relevant to a larger population. I guess we'll see.....
