This article provides an overview of the structure and goals of online and hybrid EdD programs in Educational Technology and related fields. Data collected from the websites of 13 highly ranked online and hybrid EdD programs in Educational Technology and a follow-up survey with program coordinators was analyzed for the program foci, length, delivery format, dissertation formats and processes, and professional outcomes.
