Abilene Christian University continues to advance mobile learning as ACU Online and Embanet announce the launch of the Leadership of Digital Learning program, a graduate certificate designed to produce innovative K-12 leaders for the 21st century classroom.

The graduate program begins May 3, 2010, with students able to start the program every eight weeks. As part of a research case study, each student will be provided with a 3G-enabled Apple iPad, connected to new learning applications embedded in the curriculum.

“The program is designed for forward-thinking teachers and administrators who envision an innovative future for education," says Gary Tucker, director of ACU Online. “Our goal is to help our students become driving forces for new digital initiatives in their schools. With the expertise they gain in this area, they can ensure their plans are successfully designed, deployed, measured, budgeted and funded. These educators will be the thought-leaders in their communities. They will be the ones who identify the opportunities in their schools, and they will also be catalysts for change."
