"The Internet-based Master of Arts in Educational Technology (iMET) is an innovative program designed to meet the needs of educators who can guide teachers and students in utilizing the rich resources available through the Internet and other forms of technology. Hallmarks of the iMET delivery system include: building an active community of learners through a cohort-based program; a combination of 75% on-line and 25% face-to-face class meetings; coursework which is project-oriented, including innovative electronic portfolios focusing on reflective learning and review by peers and colleagues; and the application of proven teaching strategies as appropriate in both on-line and face-to-face instruction." (iMET)

The iMET program was listed in the prestigious innovation section on the CSUS Chancellor's Office web site. Only 4-5 programs per campus are recognized in this manner for their ability to offer students "hands-on, real life learning" experiences.
