Instructional Design and Technology is a comparatively new field dedicated to applying what is empirically understood about how humans learn and improve upon performance to the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of learning and performance support products, processes, and environments. Instructional technologists understand and leverage technologies as both product (such as a Web-based course for distant learners or print-based job-aids for the workplace) and process (such as an iterative and formative approach to learner assessment). Instructional technologists practice their unique, multidisciplinary profession in a variety of settings including industry, preK-12 schools, higher education, and government.

 

The Doctor of Education degree (Ed.D.) is a doctorate that prepares the student for academic, administrative, clinical, or research positions in education. Like other doctorates, the Ed.D. is recognized by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as being equivalent to the Ph.D.

 

This Ed.D. program in Instructional Design and Technology is currently being offered through Virginia Tech as a resident program and, based on interest, may be offered as a field-based program with courses online and research performed in the field.  Make plans to attend the Information Session on Monday, November 30, 2009 at 6:00 pm to learn more about this program and how you can earn a doctoral degree in Southern Virginia.
