A 2011 USDLA (United States Distance Learning Association) award recipient, WGU offers its students an affordable, NCATE and regionally accredited online education. This program is specifically designed for already-licensed teachers who are currently using technology in the classroom and are committed to discovering new and better ways to teach. If you can devote 15-20 hours per week to your studies, you'll become a technology and instruction expert, and have the potential to earn more too. The course of study integrates best practices in instructional design, technology, measurement and evaluation, and development of graduate-level research abilities.
