Essentials Of Educational Technology 3/e

The revised edition is in accordance with the latest Model Syllabus for B.Ed formulated by the UGc. It also takes note of the modifications made by a number of universities for their syllabuses. The present edition has been thoroughly revised underlining the distinction between "Technology of Education" and "Technology in Education". Role of new technologies, like Artificial intelligence, EDUSAT, Virtual university, Dial access, Digital resources, Internet, Video, Teleconferencing, etc., now finds place in the book. It shows how they are revolutionizing the education system and what promise they hold for the future. Initiatives taken by institutions, like Gyan Vani, IGNOU, C-DAC, UGC, NIOS, etc., for furthering their objectives using technology have been given in a separate chapter. I am thankful to all the authors and publishers whose books have been made use of in the preparation of this publication. I am also grateful to the readers for their encouraging response to the book.
