Reviews

In describing and interpreting definitions of educational technology, Januszewski effectively and thoroughly raises questions about the nature of educational technology as a profession.-Education Libraries
Unlike many books written about the history of educational technology that focus on the evolution of technology and its application to instruction, this unique book examines the evolution of the concept itself....Highly recommended for research and academic libraries. It will also be of interest to professionals working with educational technology.-The Journal of Academic Librarianship
