Abstract: This textbook is an introduction to instructional technology. Each chapter includes an outline, objectives, vocabulary, case studies, examples of materials, "how to" procedures, and appraisal checklists where appropriate. The first three chapters address using media for instruction, planning for the use of media, and visual design. Following this the authors provide detailed chapters on several types of media including: nonprojected visuals, projected visuals, audio media, multimedia systems, film and video, and electronic distribution systems. Next the authors describe the operation of various audiovisual equipment. Following this is a chapter on the technologies of instruction which addresses programmed instruction, audio-tutorial systems, cognitive psychology and cooperative learning. The next two chapters explore simulation and games, and computer-based instruction in detail. Last, the authors look at future trends in educational media.

CD-ROM includes: Classroom Link Portfolio.

Richard Clark’s observation that “…media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in our nutrition” is as misunderstood today as it was when first published in the Review of Educational Research in 1983. The convincing if little read scientific evidence presented by Clark has divided the field and caused considerable concern, especially among the providers of newer media for learning. A collection of writings about the “media effects debate,” as it has come to be called, was published in 2001. Edited by Clark, Learning From Media was the first volume in the series “Perspectives in Instructional Technology and Distance Education.” The series editors are convinced that the writings of Clark and those who take issue with his position are of critical importance to the field of instructional technology, Thus, a revised, second edition of Learning From Media is now being offered. The debate about the impact of media on learning remains a fundamental issue as new mediated approaches to teaching and learning are developed, and Clark’s work should be at the center of the discussion. The critical articles on both sides of this debate are contained in Learning From Media, 2nd Edition.

This book successfully integrates instructional design principles, methods, media, and computing, and it uses a learner-centered approach that focuses on how to design solid technology-enhanced instruction that increases learning. It details the basic theories and applications of educational technology in a reader-engaging format. Includes a new chapter,Using the Internet andDistance Education , which is particularly timely given the explosion of on-line technology. For educators and school administrators

This book provides a comprehensive overview on the theories, processes, and solutions relevant to effectively creating, using, and managing digital media in a variety of instructional settings. In the first section of the book, the authors provide an overview of the theories, development models, and principles of learning with digital media. In the second section, the authors detail various digital media solutions, including: Instructional Videos, Instructional Simulations and Games, Online Learning, Mobile Learning, and Emerging Learning Technologies. Overall, this book emphasizes the theoretical principles for learning with digital media and processes to design digital media solutions in various instructional settings. The readers are also provided with multiple case studies from real world projects in various instructional settings.
