Program Overview:
DOCTOR OF EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
The doctoral concentration in Educational Technology has been designed to
prepare leaders in the field of technological applications and innovation in the
world of education and business. All courses for this program are taken with a
cadre, or team, with an annual intake in the fall. Course work is integrated with
60% face-to-face meetings and 40% online segments, creating a truly distributed
learning environment. The majority of communication occurs online through
newsgroups, Web pages, and real-time "chat" in a virtual environment hosted
by Blackboard and Pepperdine.
Concentration courses focus on advanced learning theory as it is related
to product design, the relationship between humans and computers, and the
special management issues that surround technology. In addition, core courses
are geared toward the technological environment where appropriate. All students
complete a five-unit consultancy and, as part of the policy development course,
spend several days in Washington, D.C., discussing technology and education
policy with national leaders.
