* IPT
Online Master's Degree Program
History: In addition to
the traditional on-campus mode of delivering courses, the
IPT department has been in the forefront of
Internet-delivered education by offering its internationally
recognized degree program online since 1989. Students can
earn a Master's degree in IPT by taking IPT courses entirely
online. Online courses also make it possible for students
who are relocated before finishing the on-campus program to
complete the IPT degree from their new location.
Accreditation: The
on-campus and online options are fully accredited by
the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
Delivery Method: Online classes are conducted through
asynchronous computer conferencing using
Lotus Notes course databases (DBs),
which is also available through its web version.

Why Lotus Notes?
We have chosen Lotus Notes as our online instructional
delivery medium for many reasons. Particularly,
- Using Lotus Notes, students can
work on their course work offline after they receive it
from the server. Using its web version, they can also
have access to their course
databases from anywhere in the world. These off-line and online options are especially helpful to full time
professionals who need flexibility in time (within any given
week) and location.
- Unlike other web-based
course management systems, Lotus Notes allows students
as well as instructors to use various word-processing
and multimedia features.
- Students can keep a
complete copy of each course DB on their computer for
future reference.
For more information about
the IPT course DB, see this article titled,

a Homegrown Courseroom System with Off-Line, Multimedia
Capabilities Designed with Lotus Notes.
 Theory
into Practice: The
IPT master's degree program emphasizes both the scholarly
understanding of research and theory as well as the practical
application of instructional technology and human performance
technology. Human performance improvement in organizations
requires more than just education and/or training. IPT
students learn the skills and knowledge, as well as explore
the factors, that affect job performance:
|
instructional systems design
performance consulting
computer-based training
media selection/utilization
program development and evaluation
project management |
needs assessment
job analysis and design
feedback systems
job aids and EPSSs
web
design and e-learning
tools and resources |
Quality: The online
option uses the same admission standards and required courses
as the on-campus option. Evaluations show that students in the
online course are enthusiastic about the rigor and value of
the academic experience they receive. Many have reported that
these courses have substantially increased their capability
and credibility in the workplace.
See IPT graduates'
testimonials.
Student Accomplishments: IPT
students are accomplishing numerous academic and professional
accomplishments largely as a result of their learning from the IPT
program. See IPT students'
accomplishments.
Cost: The online courses are
entirely self-supporting and are not subsidized by state taxes.
Therefore, the online course fee is different from the on-campus
course fee. A discounted rate is available for Idaho residents.
