Q & AQ & A
MAIT Program deals with
The improvement of teaching, learning and performance through the application of learning theory and technology.
MAIT program focuses on
Designing instruction from the perspective of the learner rather than from the perspective of the content (the traditional education and training approach).
(Morrison, Ross, & Kemp, 2003)
MAIT Program serves
Educators, administrators, and related personnel in P-12 schools and higher education, as well as those involved in instructional design, development, and training in government and corporate sectors.

What is the MAIT Cohort Program?
All classes are offered at a school site or via distance education.
All courses include hybrid component with some offering total, virtual attendance.
The same group of students (cohort) proceeds through the program together.
The curriculum is customized to the specific needs of the cohort group.
Benefits of MAIT Cohort

Two courses per year Fall and Spring Five and half years
Class Time

Instructors for Cohort Program
Core courses: MAIT faculty members Electives:
MAIT faculty or highly qualified adjuncts, including MAIT alumni

at the site
To start a cohort, we need:
Demand District-based cohort group Consortium At least 15 students to start
Facilities School computer labs or technology center Centrally located within the district
New Tuition Rate for MAIT Off-campus Programs
Stockton cohort pricing, effective Spring 2011 all inclusive tuition price: $600 per credit
(No additional fees) 13 or more students in the group: $570 per
credit
For a new MAIT Cohort
If you (cohort students) agree, MAIT will offer EDUC 6110: Curriculum Development & Evaluation as an elective course, so that, after receiving a MAIT degree, you need to take only one more course to complete required NJ Supervisory Certificate courses.
Application Process
You can start as a non-matriculated student Up to 6 credits

When asked by colleaguesabout the MAIT program, I responded "I learned moreabout technology than I couldpossibly ever use in theclassroom in my teaching career." Now, three years later, I am applying much of what I learned in the MAITprogram.

Testimonials of Graduates
I entered the MAIT program as a classroom
Language Arts teacher with more than thirty
years experience and was soon delighted
with my choice. I found the classes
stimulating, my instructors talented and
accessible, and my classmates enthusiastic
and bright. What I’ve learned in the MAIT
program has enabled me successfully
infuse technology into my curriculum and
become a valuable resource for my peers.
