Graduate Programs
Instructional Technology Doctoral Program (Ed.D.)
The Doctor
of Education (Ed.D.) in Instructional Technology will admit new
students throughout the year. The Ed.D. is based upon the understanding
of education settings (schools and beyond) as learning communities immersed in a world
of technology within which: 1) students are nurtured and challenged
to meet the high expectations established for them; 2) community
leaders are engaged in these communities to support them; and 3)
teachers, supervisors and administrators must take the lead in integrating
technology into these communities through continuous professional
development. Thus, the program focuses on the development of instructional
technology expertise to meet the present and future needs of technology
integration in instruction across the educational spectrum.
The objectives of the Ed.D. in Instructional Technology are to
:
- Develop knowledge and skills in the theory, foundation and philosophy
to employ instructional technology in a wide range of educational
practice;
- Provide advanced skills and abilities for teachers and trainers
who are innovative, change agents for integrating technology into
education and human resource development organizations;
- Acquire advanced skills in research, assessments and evaluation
strategies in the applications of technology in education and
training environments;
- Provide experiences for employing technology effectively in
pre-K through 16 learning environments to promote reform and enhance
learning;
- Develop knowledge, skills and abilities for teaching via online
and digital environments to create and ensure high quality and
effective learning communities;
- Create skilled and highly capable professionals who are able
to lead educational organizations to make effective decisions
about the appropriate uses of technology in learning and teaching.
