Hola Everyone,

Don't run to your local bookstore just yet. If you're not just nuts over instructional technology and distance education, this book might not be your cup of tea. It is a book I have read lately though. Believe it or not, they do need a whole book to define instructional technology. The term means so many things to different people that in order to legitimize (and professionalize) "the field", everyone's got to be on the same page, or it's just not good science.

Pretty soon, everyone will have been involved with distance education. It's been around for hundreds of years, and with the internet and all, it's time really has come. So if you're dying to know about diffusion theories and knowledge management systems, this book is for you. I'll loan you my copy.
