OTHER RESOURCESInstructional technology as a field draws its strength from several sets of dedicated people, whose interests are diverse, but who share a belief that technology can be employed to improve the design and delivery of instruction. It is a field that is able to draw upon a rich background of scientifically based knowledge--in hardware innovation, in communication research, in artificial intelligence and computer science, and in cognitive psychology. It would seem likely, then, that there would be a common set of beliefs and ideals that characterize the field.
