Master Programme
The Learning Sciences Research Institute (LSRI) is a collaboration between the Schools of Education, Computer Science and IT, and Psychology.
The MSc course offers a new opportunity to extend your knowledge and skills of developing, using or evaluating technology to enhance work, play and learning. The programme has been designed for graduates from a variety of backgrounds in order to encourage interdisciplinary approaches to interaction design, research and development. It will be of most benefit to those wishing to enhance their careers prospects in sectors such as new media and technology, entertainment, training, learning or research.

Masters' Program
The Masters' program in LDT prepares students from a variety of backgrounds (cognitive science, art and design, k-12 or university education, business, information technology) to design new ways to use technology for teaching and learning.
The program is a small (20 or so students), project-based one-year Masters' degree program. Students work in teams with a distinguished faculty to study and design computer and telecommunications learning environments and devices for various learning environments - schools, homes, community organizations, museums, and businesses.
Design philosophy is grounded in principles of learning behavioral, cognitive, and socially situated. Graduates have worked in software development firms, in schools as technology coordinators, in universities as staff to innovative teaching and learning projects, in museums designing online programs and interactive kiosks, in community-based organizations, and in corporate training and education departments. Designed for innovative, academically able students with initiative and strong academic records and relevant work experience.

New Ph.D. Program in Engineering Education at Virginia Tech
The Engineering Education department at Virginia Tech announces the start of a new Ph.D. program, Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Education. Students will be admitted to the program beginning January 2008. This new program is only the second such Ph.D. program in the United States offered by a dedicated department of engineering education housed within the College of Engineering. The new cross-disciplinary doctoral program responds to the need for rigorous theoretical and methodological advances in our understanding of engineering education, improved teaching of engineering at all levels, and design of responsive learning environments for engineering education. Collectively, the 15 faculty members of the department hold degrees in English; Information Design; Learning Sciences; Linguistics; Communication; Mathematics; and 11 different engineering disciplines, making it one of the most diverse engineering departments in existence.
Interested persons can find more information on the department's website at http://www.enge.vt.edu or by emailing enge_graduate@vt.edu. Feel free to contact faculty members in your area of interest.
