Introduction

The Institute of Computer Technology offers online technology courses in partnership with three universities: California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo, the University of California-San Diego, and Sonoma State University.

ICT's online courses:

• Are led by an expert instructor who is a current or former classroom teacher.
• Are delivered in "anytime...anywhere" asynchronous format - you "attend class" and complete course work when it fits your schedule.
• May be taken individually or as part of a full Instructional Technology Certificate program.
• Come with university graduate credits; some courses help fulfill California state teacher credentialing requirements.
