Instructional Technology majors have the opportunity to join various clubs and organizations across and outside of campus to expand their network, including Kappa Delta Pi, and many more.
Our professors' leadership and research are shaping the instructional technology field. We use the same highly qualified instructors for our online and on-campus classes, all of whom have excellent reputations.
"I have authored or co-authored 15 publications in top-tier education journals and am honored to be a highly rated online professor of Widener students."
"My philosophy for teaching graduate courses in educational leadership revolves around the importance of integrating theory and practice. I believe my courses need to be grounded in research and theory related to students' particular areas of study, and also provide opportunities for students to apply that research and theory to practice."
"My interests include brain development, literacy development, and applications of technology in research and instruction. My greatest excitement in teaching comes from the way that working with graduate students spills over to my teaching of undergraduates and vice versa."
Zora Wolfe, an associate professor in Widener’s Center for Education, shares ways for parents, students, and educators to smoothly transition to online learning.
