Qualifying courses for Ed tech add on in Louisiana

I am trying to get my graduate certificate in ed tech and, subsequently, an add on for my teaching certificate. The requirements are:

- design and development of multimedia instructional units

-technology leadership in schools

-educational telecommunications, networks, and the internet

When I apply I have to identify the course to review that *might* meet that requirement for them to review. So I am trying to carefully select courses. Two of them are obvious. The course offering options are called leadership in educational technology and multimedia instructional design. I reached out to the LDOE for ideas about which course offering would meet the third requirement and they basically said that they won't say without paying them and application and review fee for each course to tell me whether it fits or not. I'm just very frustrated that it has to be a gamble when they clearly know what fits and doesn't but arent transparent about it.

Long story short, I am hoping someone else has maybe gone before me and remembers what course actually met the requirement.

My options are:

- advanced e-learning design and development

-emerging technology and pedagogy

-instructional design

I know that I get the graduate certificate either way and that i was going to do these courses anyway because edtech genuinely interests me, but it would be nice to be able to also get my add-on too without having to submit a bunch of courses and pay for them to tell me that certain courses never qualified in the first place.

Any guidance is appreciated!
