Every single course and project in the LDT program was extremely valuable and immediately relevant to the roles I was in throughout the program. The faculty were amazing -- supportive, communicative, and very knowledgeable. I have truly enjoyed my time in this program and credit my confidence and success in transitioning from teaching to instructional design to this experience!

I chose Purdue's LDT program over others because most programs pigeonholed practitioners to either K-12/higher ed or corporate/government/nonprofit career tracks. Purdue's program allowed me to explore different avenues in the instructional design field and was customizable so I could tailor my degree to my goals. Because of this approach, my classmates were very diverse and came from all professional backgrounds. I learned just as much from them as I did from the faculty, which is saying a lot because the faculty is amazing.

I entered this program because I was bored with the regular PD that was offered by schools. I wanted a program that would push my skills as a teacher and with technology. I could not be more satisfied and happy with the LDT program. The program went above and beyond my expectations. Everything I wanted from obtaining my master's and professional development, was met through the LDT program. While I do not intend to leave the classroom at this moment, I have acquired better skills and resources that have made me a better teacher. The faculty and student collaboration of the program pushed me to think deeper and become a better educator and learning designer.
