Handbook of Research for Educational Communications and Technology: A Project of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT Series)

All chapters have been updated, some extensively. New chapters include those on programmed instruction, everyday cognition and situated learning, ecological psychology, internet-based learning, library media centres, foreign language labs, microworlds, automated instructional design, cognitive apprenticeship, case-based learning aids, and conversational analysis. All articles are organized around a numerical cross-referencing system that permits the construction of front-end databases, hypertexts, and summaries. The handbook is intended for graduate students, professors, instructional designers and researchers in educational communication and technology.
