As initially planned, "An Electronic Textbook on Instructional Technology" or ET-IT is an interactive hypertext and multimedia instructional CD-ROM package which supports the preservice teachers’ exploration of the use of technology in education. Its target audience, therefore, is preservice teachers and persons interested in instructional technology who are completing a college course on the subject.
Generally, the purpose of this prototype for an electronic textbook is to provide prospective teachers with an interactive learning environment that will:
(a) help them develop a sense of history about the development of instructional
technology,
(b) help them develop a vision of the innovative ways instructional technology
can be used in the classroom, and
(c) support preservice teacher education students as they begin to
understand the ways multimedia and hypermedia technology can be used in
education practice.
ET-IT as it is contains only one chapter -- the theory chapter. The major content of the theory chapter in ET-IT are the four theory families: the behavioral theories, the cognitive constructivist theories, the social constructivist theories, and the critical theory.
Parts of the content of this electronic book are adapted from the following books:
Maddux, Cleborne D., Johnson, D. LaMont, & Willis, W. Jerry. (1997). Educational Computing: Learning with Tomorrow's Technologies. Boston: Allyn & Bacon.
Willis, W. Jerry, Stephens, C. Elizabeth, &
Matthew, I. Kathryn. (1996). Technology, Reading, and Language
Arts. Boston: Allyn & Bacon.
