While information technology has had a definite impact on education and training, the potential it offers for the teaching process remains largely untapped. The Encyclopaedia of Educational Media Communications and Technology addresses the need for a comprehensive information source that will continue to serve the needs of the educational community. This completely revised second edition offers educators, trainers, and administrators the opportunity to evaluate a whole spectrum of new developments in educational media communications and technology. It brings the reader up to date on major innovations, such as the increasingly ubiquitous microcomputer and the flexible, sophisticated communications capabilities that have become a reality since the encyclopaedia was first published ten years ago.The original material has been thoroughly updated, and more than thirty major topical entries have been added. Because of the proliferation of jargon that has accompanied each new technological advance, the editors have included approximately 1,500 short entries explaining terms that are likely to be encountered in an educational context. Entries have been contributed by more than seventy specialists in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The second edition of this encyclopaedia will be an essential resource for the teachers, trainers, and decision-makers destined to play a role in integrating the new communications technologies into a modern educational framework.

As people become familiar with the application of hypertext through the Internet and intranet connections on their desks, the challenge to understand its potential - and thus apply it across generations, professions, backgrounds and cultures - grows ever stronger but remains untaken. The contributors here provide the editor's intention to recognise the lack of either a common pool of knowledge or a general recognition that there will inevitably be different views on how the technology should be approached.
