BUFFALO, NY – The Canisius University School of Education and Human Services offers two new certificate courses for the Fall 2011 semester. 

Education technologies certificates are offered online in an eight-week course format. Motivated students can complete their certificate in as little as 16 weeks.

There are currently two certificate options available: 

The Education Technologies and Emerging Media Certificate serves those in education, business, government, healthcare or other settings who wish to enhance their skills in utilizing technology for teaching and training.

The Online Teaching and Training Certificate serves those in education, business, government, healthcare or other settings where teaching or learning online is key. Content models best practices in teaching online and will actively engage students in the online teaching and training environment.
