I felt as if I were sitting in a classroom participating in this online course. Everyone has been so helpful. It is exciting reading what others are doing with their students and sharing ideas from one county to another.

Graduate Certificate

We offer a graduate Certificate in Educational Technology and Online Learning, presented jointly by Antioch University Seattle and Education Development Center. This Certificate is awarded to all who receive continuing education credits at the graduate level for all four of the following courses: ED5151, ED5152, ED5153 and ED5154.

Certificate Cost

Upon receipt of continuing education credits at the graduate level for all four courses, there is no additional cost for the awarding of the Certificate in Educational Technology and Online Learning.

Certificate Enrollment

There is no enrollment process. Participants will automatically receive their Certificate in Educational Technology and Online Learning after successful completion of their fourth and final continuing education credits at the graduate level course.

Course Requirements

All courses are offered online, and a detailed syllabus is included in each course website. The following is required for satisfactory completion of each course:

  1. Satisfactory completion of required course activities and online discussion requirements as described in course information.
  2. Satisfactory completion of final course products as described in the course requirements document, submitted electronically to the course facilitator.

Quarter System

The EDC/Antioch graduate programs operate on a quarter system as follows:

End-quarter deadlines:

Winter Quarter: March 31st
Spring Quarter: June 30th
Summer Quarter: September 30th
Autumn Quarter: December 31st

Participants are automatically assigned to the quarter in which their course or workshop ends. Course materials are due by quarter's end for review by EDC faculty.

For instance, participants enrolled in a course that begins in September and ends in December are considered to be in an Autumn Quarter course. The Autumn Quarter ends December 31. Registration, payment, and course materials are due to EDC faculty and staff by this deadline.

If ETLO does not receive all of a participant's required materials (registration, payment, and course products) by the quarter deadline for a course, that individual will automatically receive an extension to the next quarter, and should submit any missing work by the next quarter's deadline. No more than four extensions will be granted.

Please note: All continuing education credit work and payments must be submitted within one year of the original deadline. If all materials are not received by the end of that one-year period, ETLO will be unable to award continuing education credits at the graduate level.

Grading

All courses are offered pass/fail with no letter grades.

Grade Reports and Transcripts

Grades are submitted to Antioch within 3 weeks after the end of the quarter. Students should receive their completion report from Antioch between 6 and 8 weeks after quarter end. Students who require an official transcript for any reason will need to contact Antioch University Seattle directly after the quarter end. Download and complete this official transcript request form and send it to Antioch with payment after the quarter end.
