Program overview
Modern educational technology, simply put, is about using computers, smartphones, the internet, and other tech tools to make learning more efficient and engaging. You'll learn how to design an online course, create a virtual lab with VR, analyze student learning behavior through data, or even develop educational games. Core courses include Educational Psychology, Instructional System Design, Multimedia Production, Learning Analytics, and Programming Basics (Python or JavaScript). Many Chinese universities offer strong practical resources in this field, such as partnerships with online education platforms and dedicated smart classrooms for you to experiment in. This major suits those who are passionate about education and enjoy tinkering with technology—you don't necessarily need to code, but you should be open to new tools. If you've ever wondered, "Why do students scroll through short videos endlessly but fall asleep in class?" and want to solve such problems with technology, this major is for you.
