Look for programs like "Educational Technology" or "Instructional Design".
 Indiana, Penn State, The
University of Iowa, Iowa State, Florida State, Arizona, Minnesota and others
 have programs.  I
graduated from the U of Iowa. --

Have you heard of the Instructional Systems Technology program at Indiana
University (Bloomington)? This program offers both masters and doctoral degrees
 and is ranked as one
of the best programs (or may be THE best). It has an excellent production track,
 and the School of
Education serves as a national demonstration site for the application of
 technology in education.
If you would like more information, send me your mailing address--I'll send a
 brochure.  I'm entering the
masters program this summer, so I can give you more info if you want.  I've
 already taken classes in
the department and know quite a bit about it.
Hope this helps!!

There is a program at San Diego State University in the Masters of Education
 program, called
Educational Technology, which has a multimedia focus. You can contact Dr.
 Alisson Rossett. She is
one of the Ed Tech gurus. Perhaps Dr. Rossett can give you a contact that is
 more within your
geographic preference. The number is 619-594-6088 for Dr. Rossett and
 619-594-6718 for the
department.  Good luck!

You might check out what Waterloo has to offer.  I'm not exactly sure what they
 offer but I know they
have several courses in technical communication and possibly multimedia.  I
 believe they're offered
through continuing ed but may also be available through distance ed as well.  I
 recently came across a
list of courses they were offering this past winter.  You could perhaps try to
 access this information
through the net (I believe I was using the Gopher library service when I came
 across it).

You may want to investigate interdisciplinary humanities programs, too.  Here at
 Michigan Tech, for
example, our MS and PhD programs in Rhetoric and Technical Communication feature
 broad areas of
concentration.  Our students' interests run from foreign languages and
 literature, to gender studies, to
environmental philosophy, and (I'd say) anything in between. We currently have
 several scholars at
work in multimedia studies, including computer-based training, technical
 documentation, artificial
intelligence, visual design, and hypertext.

I'm not trying to sound like a salesman, so if I am, please excuse me.  Did I
 mention that MTU would
be only a 5-hour commute from Sault Ontario?

Here are some ideas:

1) Contact the Society for Technical Communication (901 N. Stuart St., Suite
 904, Arlington, VA
22203-1854, Phone: 703-522-4114) for info on programs in technical communication
 that might meet
your needs.

2) Contact the American Society for Training and Development (sorry, I don't
 have the address handy,
but you can get it at your local library in the Encyclopedia of Associations)
 for similar info.

3) Try Michigan Tech.  They had some good courses and may be able to set up an
 interdisciplinary
program for you.

4) Avoid Boston University!  I have a M.Ed. from there in Educational
 Technology.  Sounds like just the
ticket, eh?  Well, it probably would be except for the President of the
 University and the director of the
program.  It's been 20 years, and some of the shenanigans they pulled still make
 me spit nails.  More to
the point, a friend of mine recently graduated from the program with a Ph. D.,
 and she's even angrier
than I am/was.  You don't need that kind of aggravation!

5) If possible, plan on attending the STC conference in Minneapolis May 15-18.
 You'll get a chance to
talk to several people who are involved in the field of training and several
 multimedia communication
professionals, too.  And it's fairly close to Sault Ste. Marie, too.

6) Years ago, some of the folks at Simon Fraser University in B.C. were doing
 some innovative work in
the fields you describe.  I've been out of the loop for  while, but you might
 check with them.  Also, U. of
Alaska folks were addressing the problem of distance education.  A bit far,
 though, from Ontario!
Good luck!

The George Washington University offers a distance ed Master of Arts in
 Educational Technology
Leadership.  Courses include introduction to multimedia  and multimedia design,,
 classes that cover
hardware and software stuff, as well
as public policy.  Classes are offered through the "Mind Extension University"
 which many cable
companies in the US carry.  I don't know about Canada.  The way
it works is you watch classes on television (via your cable company, or you buy
a satellite dish, or you buy videocassettes of the classes from Mind Extension
 University), and
communicate assignments and thoughts to the teachers and other
students via modem to a bulletin board.
For a catalog from Mind Extension University, call (in the US) 1-800-777-MIND.

Hi; Like you, I am extremely interested in a multimedia career. I will receive a
 BA in Professional Writing
this May and would like to learn more about the numerous applications of
 mutlimedia in education and
entertainment.
 The February or March issue of -New Media- listed a number of schools that
 offer various degrees or
at least courses in multimedia. I'm sure I still have the magazine. If you can't
 find a copy, I'd be happy
to snail mail a copy to you. It may not list everything you want, but it's
 interesting.
Please let me know what everybody else adivises you to do.Thanks,

From:     IN%"kolosick -at- CCIT -dot- ARIZONA -dot- EDU"

I received your message regarding degree programs in computers, and multimedia
 design and
development, and their uses in education and training.

I don't know if our program is exactly what you wanted.  We plan to implement it
 in fall, 1995, assuming
that we get approval.  I am sending you a draft of our materials that we are
 proposing to our
administration.  All items are, of course, subject to change.
If I can be of further assistance please contact me.

Master of Fine Arts in New Media

General Description

Students in the program will complete a common core curriculum and will work
 together as
interdisciplinary production teams.  The MFA degree gives students a solid
 foundation in new
technologies while permitting them to develop their own areas of specialization
 and creativity.  The
thesis will consist of the design, implementation as team leader, and
 documentation of a project in
interactive media technologies.  Research in New Media will be supported by the
 Peter Treistman Fine
Arts Center for New Media in the Fine Arts Complex.

Initially, entry to the MFA degree program will be limited to five students each
 year.  Students' previous
education and experience will be varied.  Although students' background may not
 necessarily be
technological in focus, a strong level of computer user skills must be
 demonstrable.  Students are
expected to have sufficient technological experience in order to gain
 proficiency in New Media software
applications quickly and independently.  Course work concentrates on New Media
 concepts and artistic
production rather than basic training in software products.
Each student must have his/her complete degree plan and graduate committee
 approved by the faculty
before completing two semesters or 18 units of study, which ever comes first.  A
 total of 60 units will be
required to complete the MFA in New Media.  These units are completed in the
 following
categories:

Core Curriculum - 18 units (required of all students in the program)
3 units New Media Technology and Communications
        An overview of New Media hardware and software, Human Interface Design,
 and Instructional
Design.  The communications component of the course includes the study of file
 formats,
telecomunications, networking, and their relationship to present and future
 media.
3 units Graphic Representation and Processing
        A study and practical application of visual art techniques as applied to
 New Media.  Projects will
develop technical and artistic skill in image creation, capture, and processing.
3 units Digital Signal Processing
        A study and practical application of video acquisition, production
 techniques, music composition
and music selection techniques  as applied to New Media.  Projects will develop
 skills in video
acquisition, processing, and editing. MIDI, digital sampling, recording
 techniques, and surround sound
editing.

3 units Research Methods  in New Media
        Incorporates research techniques into screen and interface design with
 special with special focus
on statistics and experimental design as it applies to various age groups,
 disabilities and educational
levels.  Readings in research literature will be followed by research projects.
 6 units Topics Seminars
(instructors selected from participating faculty)         Studies in specific
 areas of arts and New Media
technology.  Seminars require independent and group research and may be team
 taught by faculty
specialists from a variety of disciplines.  Topics may include:  Overview of
 Tele/Datacommunications;
Development of Exploratory Learning Environments; Animation Techniques for
 Virtual Reality
Applications; Use of Scientific Data for Virtual Space Travel; 3D Anatomical
 Illustration.  Similar topics
may be offered as  intensive weekend seminars in order that members of the
 professional media
community can take part.

Team research - 6 units (Students work on research grants of existing faculty)
        Students will sign up for research teams that will design and implement
 specific research projects
or New Media products.  Students provide services within their area of expertise
 and learn from the
research activities of others on the team.  Generally associated with research
 grants or prototype
development for future funding, these projects prepare the student for
 independent research and team
leadership associated with producing a Master's Thesis.  Such research projects
 generally last one
semester and receive 2 or 3 units of credit.

Area of Specialty - 12 Units (From courses outside the New Media Program)
        Each student will declare and develop an area of specialty within the
 field of New Media.  This
area can be developed with any combination of course work from any department or
 combination of
departments, but must be directly related to creative applications of New Media.
  No more than 6 units
can be accomplished through independent studies unless special permission is
 granted by the faculty.

Electives - 6 units (From courses outside the New Media Program)
        These graduate level classes may be taken outside the student's area of
 emphasis and core
curriculum courses.  Students are encouraged to take courses that broaden their
 background and
enhance their understanding of issues relating to technology, society, and human
 responsibility.

Thesis - 18 units (Load shared among faculty associated with the program)
        Students engage in independent research guided by a single faculty
 member or faculty committee
of experts.  Research for the MFA includes the design, development, and full
 implementation of New
Media systems.  Each thesis topic must be approved by the faculty.  The thesis
 topic will be directly
related to the area of expertise developed by the student.

Timetable for Development of the MFA in New Media

Year 1  1994-95 Planning Year, establish committees, faculty, and syllabi.
 Further develop specific
degree requirements.
Year 2  1995-96 Admission of first class of five students.
Year 3  1996-97 Admission of second class of five students.
Year 4  1997-98 Admission of third class of five students.

 Actually, the program
has a lot of international students and is very diverse.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to e-mail me.  Regarding gopher
 information, I know
that Indiana University has a gopher, but I think the School of Ed is still in
 the process of building theirs.
They are also building a World Web Site, but I'm not sure if it's finished.  If
 it is, I'll forward more info
when I get it.
If you have specific questions, e-mail me.

From:     IN%"jimw -at- TENNESSEE -dot- SC -dot- TI -dot- COM"  "Jim Walsh"

In a very small way, I can agree with Stephen Bernhardt. My doubts come from
 trying to find a
university that offers a degree plan "in computers, and multi- media design and
 development, and their
uses in education and training." This is
so esoteric that I question such a plan can be found because it would not be
 economically feasible to
the university. To go around this, I feel that you have to go to a school with a
 technical communication
curriculum degree plan as well as having working agreements with the CS
 (computer science)
department like the two schools I mentioned. Then you can design a degree plan
 using their already
existing curriculum (and enjoy a good selection).Does this make sense, or have I
 gone out on another
(weak and impulsive) intuitive flight of fancy again.

From:     IN%"johndan -at- CRAMER -dot- NMT -dot- EDU"  "Johndan Johnson-Eilola"

I had some email problems and missed the start of the discussion, but you might
 want to look at the
February 94 Issue of New Media. There's a section on Careers in Multimeda, which
 has both an
overview and a resource list including schools with some sort of involvement in
 training multimedia
designers. The blurbs on the schools are short, but at least a starting point.

In addition, you might contact Stuart Selber (sselber -at- mtu -dot- edu), who has an essay
 and survey of the
ways in which computer use is taught in graduate programs in technical
 communication. The article
itself might not have what you need, but he may have gotten information from his
 survey that would be
useful to you.

Finally, although Steve's right in saying that MTU's program was designed
 primarily as a MS & PhD in
Rhetoric and Tech Comm, the program is open enough to allow heavy concentrations
 in multimedia and
instructional computing (and they have a really nice computer lab--486s, Mac
 IIci's and Quadras, lots of
fun periperhals and software and an, um, "interesting" decor and atmosphere, but
 that's another story).
The program may be more rhetorically/socially based than you want, but it's
 something to consider. I
have both MS and PhD's from the program, and almost every class or research
 project I did involved
hypertext, hypermedia, or some other version of online text. (Just a plug for my
 alma mater.)

 To whomever is interested in instructional technology programs:
 Note that nearly every state in the United States has an instructional
 technology program in the
education college of one of its larger  universities.  A few private
 universities also offer programs.
Some focus  on K-12, others on adult ed.  Some are more technology oriented,
 some are  more design
oriented.  Some of the many schools with programs include  Syracuse, Columbia, U
 of Texas, U of
Washington, U of Minnesota, U of  Georgia, Indiana University, San Diego State
 University, University
of  Utah, San Jose State University, San Francisco State University, Florida
 State University, Southern
Illinois University, and my school, Georgia State.  (The original requester was
 from Canada; I don't
know the academic situation  there but do know there's an active instructional
 technology community  in
Montreal, with a chapter of the National Society for Performance and
 Instruction.)

But I wonder if this is good advice below.  I think instructional technology
 programs are more on the
mark than those at MTU or BGSU, which are essentially tech comm programs. It
 seems Caputo has
interests defined which don't exactly fit tech comm programs .That's why I
 didn't recommend our own
programs at NMSU.

I don't know whether MTU or BGSU have classes in the media that he's looking for
 or not, but either
way, it can't hurt for him to contact the college to find out. Many colleges
 these days will "special order"
a degree program for you if they don't have what you are looking for.
For example, when I graduated Eastern Washington University with a BA in
 Technical Communication,
the head of the Tech Comm department told me that due to the small size of her
 program, I couldn't get
a Master's degree in technical communication from Eastern because of a limit on
 the number of credits
in my major program that I could take from a single professor. The head of the
 CS department,
however, said that should I want to come back for a Master's, that he and the
 head of the English
department would design a graduate program that would give me an MS in Technical
 Communication
and Computer Science. So it positively can't hurt to contact the school to find
 out what they can do.

I am taking the NOVA Southeastern University PhD Program in Computer  Technology
 in Education by
distance education using computer conferencing.   They have MA programs also.  I
 started it  when
I was working for Contact North in Sudbury.  You have to go to Florida  for at
 least 4 week long
sessions.  I found that Florida was cheaper to  get to from Northern ONtario
 than almost anywhere.
I find it to be a good solid program, very relevant and very up to date,  which
 is a problem in many
programs in Canada.

You might also ask Karen Ronald who is a librarian in Espanola, she is  taking a
 similar program.  Her
email address is :
ronaldk -at- alpha -dot- acast -dot- nova -dot- edu

I am continuing the program here in New Brunswick, which is another  advantage
 of a distance
education program. If you want more info, just let me know.

You might want to check out the Educational Technology program at Concordia in
 Montreal.  I'm a Ph.D
student there now.  From your post, it sounds like the proximity, the cheap
 rents in Montreal and the
low tuition might be important factors.  They were for me.
Contact me if you want more information.

 I don't have detailed addresses handy, but Connected Education is affiliated
 with the New School for
Social Research in New York City.  Paul Levinson is director of Distance (sorry,
 delete
"Distance"...mental synapse problem!); Paul is director of Connected Education
 He published an article
in the 1988 book, Mindweave, edited by Robin Mason and Tony Kaye.  There may be
 an address in
there.
Nova University in Florida has several Master's and Ph.D.'s in various types of
 computer and
information science, but I don't know if there's a multimedia emphasis.
