We are able to offer K-12 and corporate emphases in our program, and we offer the only K-12 instructional computing applications certificate program in the area.

Research
Students conduct research in public schools, work with the Center for Research on Education Policy (CREP) on K-12 technology integration and school reform, design and develop professional development activities, work in Artificial Intelligence through the Institute for Intelligent Systems, and conduct research with the Campus Elementary School, which is attached to the education building.

Technology
The Advanced Instructional Media Lab (AIM Lab) at the University of Memphis is an R&D lab where faculty and students can gain experience and conduct research and training activities in all aspects of technology-assisted instruction, including web-based instruction, computer-based multimedia, digital video, DVD authoring, and pedagogical agents.
