Program details
Overview
This graduate diploma in educational technology, offered online by Université TÉLUQ, is a second-cycle program treating educational technology as both a research area and an ethical practice. Students build competencies in analyzing learners' needs and contexts, and in designing, producing, implementing, and evaluating technology-based educational solutions, alongside project management skills applicable to technology initiatives in education. Coursework begins with an introductory course before moving into a block of courses aimed at integrating theory and application. Instruction is delivered entirely online, with no campus attendance required. The program suits classroom teachers, pedagogical advisors, and other education professionals who want to make more effective use of digital tools in their practice, as well as trainers from other fields who have teaching or training responsibilities. Because it is a diploma rather than a full master's degree, it offers a shorter, more targeted credential focused specifically on the design and management of technology-enabled learning, without requiring a thesis or internship placement.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.00 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Admission requires a bachelor's degree with a cumulative average of at least 3.0 on a 4.3 scale; candidates averaging 2.7–3.0 may be reviewed by the admissions sub-committee (SCAE) for possible conditional admission. Applicants without the required average may instead have their file reviewed on the basis of sufficient training or experience. Written French must be mastered, attested by the Université TÉLUQ written French test or a recognized equivalent, and the programme requires the ability to read scientific articles in English, with no formal English score specified. The sub-committee may attach conditions to an offer, including preparatory coursework, an admission interview, or additional documents. Under the programme's pedagogical rules, course TED 6312 must be the first course taken after admission.
Application Details
Application Deadline:TELUQ accepts most applications at any time, but admission tied to a specific trimester follows published windows: Fall 2026 runs 16 February to 30 October 2026, Winter 2027 runs 3 August 2026 to 26 February 2027, and Summer 2027 runs 14 December 2026 to 18 June 2027. Domestic and international applicants share the same windows, except international applicants must submit at least 14 days before a period closes or their file is carried to the next trimester; a few programmes set their own deadlines, listed on each programme's page. Outside these term-specific windows TELUQ describes admission as continuous rather than governed by a single fixed closing date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
