Instructional Technology as Electives

Take Instructional Technology Courses as Electives

We welcome students from other degree programs to take instructional technology courses as electives (these courses have the prefix EDTC). The majority of our courses are offered online, and many of our courses are recommended electives for other degrees. If you are interested in learning more about developing instruction using innovative tools and strategies, please review our course descriptions and talk with your advisors to see how you may include Instructional Technology courses into your program of study.

Any of our courses which do not have a prerequisite may be used as electives. Many students earn a certificate in Instructional Technology while completing another degree!

If students outside the College of Education (COE) want to enroll in the course and receive an error message because there is a Banner code that limits registration to COE students, please contact Ron Preston (prestonr@ecu.edu; 252-328-9355) so that our office can complete the registration.
