Project Description

​This project is initiated by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) Definition and Terminology committee. The purpose of the project is to create an encyclopedia of terminology of the educational technology field. The project was spearheaded by Dr. Rita C. Richey.

My role was to decide instructional methods to introduce in the encyclopedia and prepare entries for each instructional method with a colleague under Dr. Charles Reigeluth's guidance. In each entry, we provided a definition, examples, theoretical bases, alternative views, and trends of the methods.
