David Wizer, Department Chair

The Department of Educational Technology and Literacy (EDTL) is home to a wide range of graduate, undergraduate and outreach programs offered within the College of Education. We offer a wide range of undergraduate support courses in developmental reading and educational technology for all teacher education students. At the graduate level, EDTL offers programs in Reading, Educational Technology, Instructional Design and Development and School Library Media. In the area of Instructional Technology, EDTL is the home of the new doctoral degree program.  EDTL is also is home for the Technology mentoring grant (PT3) as well as the Reading Clinic. A wide range of technology resources support programs in Reading and Instructional Technology. These resources include the Educational Technology Center, the Multimedia laboratory, a demonstration lab for assistive technology and a number of technology enhanced classrooms. All of these resources are located within Hawkins Hall.

I invite you to explore the EDTL web pages to view our resources, examine our program offerings and to see the dedicated group of faculty who teach in EDTL. What these diverse programs and faculty have in common is an extraordinary commitment to the improvement of education. On behalf of the EDTL faculty and staff, I invite you to find the program that best meets your professional goals and to join with us to make education excellence a reality for all.
