Abstract
The Master of Education in Learning Design and Technology (MEd LDT) is a postgraduate programme offered by Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) in Malaysia. It is designed for educators, instructional designers, corporate trainers, and professionals across various fields who are interested in learning design and seeking to enhance their educational skills. The programme equips learners with expertise in learning sciences, digital learning environments, and innovative pedagogical approaches. It is available in both conventional full-time and Open & Distance Learning (ODL) part-time modes, providing flexibility for those balancing work and study. Additionally, Postgraduate Diploma and Certificate pathways are available, catering to individuals at different stages of their careers in learning design and educational technology. This programme aligns with the theme of Gender, Technology, and Innovation in Open Education by addressing issues of inclusion, accessibility, and the role of emerging technologies in education. It explores how AI-driven learning environments, mobile learning, virtual reality, and assistive technologies can support diverse learners, including those impacted by gender-related barriers in education. With a research-informed curriculum and a strong emphasis on practical application, students gain the skills to design, implement, and evaluate technology-enhanced learning experiences that foster equity in education. By participating in this marketplace, we aim to raise awareness of the MEd LDT programme among educators, institutions, and policymakers who seek to leverage technology for more inclusive and accessible learning. The exhibition provides a platform to engage with institutions exploring faculty development and instructional design training, as well as professionals looking to enhance their competencies in digital education. The programme's focus on accreditation, certification, and micro-credentialing further supports the goals of open education by offering flexible learning pathways for career advancement. As an institution committed to educational innovation, APU integrates cutting-edge digital technologies with a learner-centred approach, preparing graduates to lead advancements in learning design and technology-enhanced learning. This exhibition also offers an opportunity to discuss how learning design can address gender inclusion challenges in education, ensuring equitable access to high-quality learning experiences. We welcome collaboration with institutions and individuals dedicated to advancing equity in education through technology-driven learning and instructional design.
