Educational Technology has a long tradition in special education. The T.E.A.C.H. lab in the Department of Special Education is one example of the role of adaptive and assistive learning technologies serving the needs of students with special physical needs. Because of the significant role special education has in educational technology, the EDTEC program has two programmatic connections with our colleagues in the Department of Special Education.

SPCED 331 and 631

SPCED 661 is required in the graduate version of the Computer Education License and SPCED 331 is strongly recommended as an elective in the undergraduate license. We will usually list SPCED 331 and 631 in our course scheduling information so EDTEC students can plan accordingly.

EDTEC 350 was recently selected to be part of the new Exceptional Needs Mild Interventions add-on teaching license.
