EARNING A DOCTORATE AT A DISTANCE: FOUR UNIVERSITIES OFFERING ADVANCED DEGREES IN INSTRUCTIONAL/EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
In my ongoing quest to provide useful information to the readers of Educational Pathways, I took an in-depth look at four doctoral programs in instructional design and/or educational technology that are taught at a distance, but not fully at a distance.

All four programs have some form of residency requirement. However, these residencies can typically be scheduled at convenient intervals of time, which, for the most part, can fit inside a working adult’s busy life without a disastrous disruption of one’s employment status (provided, of course, that you work within an administration that is understanding and willing to support such an educational endeavor).
