Why should you pursue an online Master’s Degree in Information and Communication Technology?
Thursday, 05 November 2020
Within a short period of time, you could get an online master’s degree in information and communication technology, and that is a great opportunity for you.
The University of Johannesburg understands that technology is always changing, developing, being invented for different purposes. One of the fields in which technology has a greater impact is in communication.
From earlier forms of transmitting information from one place to another, from one person to the other, like the radio or fax machines (if you are still using one, consider updating) and the social media apps like the ones we all know and love to hate despite we use them all the time, to video chat, online courses and distance learning. Technology is a key component in human communication, and it has earned that spot by making things easier (sometimes) for all of us.
Distance learning has overtaken the academic field this year, so it’s the perfect time to pursue this online master’s degree. Communication is always changing and it makes it a great field of study to dive into. Plus, this being an online master’s degree means that you would get all the advantages associated with the distance learning dynamic (fewer expenses, an improvement in the professor-student relationship, and the possibility of learning at your own pace -which is always a great thing to take into consideration at the time of picking a course-). So, as long as you are able to fill all the requirements distance learning implies, you will be good to go.
Of course, this online master’s degree has a target audience: “education practitioners from public and private sectors who have an interest in advancing digital learning in their education ecosystems”.
That means that if you are an educational researcher, a teacher (or a lecturer), this might be the ideal online master’s degree for you. It takes a minimum of two years (so it’s a short period of time for a degree that lets you keep your own pace), but the distance learning methodology would allow you to both pursue this master’s degree and keep doing your day to day tasks (for example, your work schedule wouldn’t be affected) without interfering with them, letting you organize your routine the way you want.
So, as long as you are interested in this field and want to keep up forming yourself as a professional, this online master’s degree will fit you perfectly.
