New Book: The Elements of Instruction: A Framework for the Age of Emerging Technologies, By Micheal H. Molenda and Deepak Prem Subramony
Are twentieth-century methods of teaching applicable in the twenty-first century? At heart, that is a key question that this book attempts to answer. Our thinking about this issue is hindered by definitional murkiness and hyperbole surrounding the concepts of media, multimedia, distance education, MOOCs, educational technology, emerging technologies, and social media. Each construct is analyzed and criticized from a “back to basics” perspective, seeking common-sense solutions to perennial concerns of education and training.
