AECT Standards Introduction

The AECT standards reflect the various skills that practitioners in the field of educational technology and design should master. This e-Portfolio reflects work that I have completed throughout the M.S. in Learning Design and Technology program and aligns that work to the AECT standards.

See below for descriptions of the 5 main AECT standards and links to pages that contain descriptions and artifacts demonstrative of the sub-standards within each category.
