This is Volume 44 of the Educational Media and Technology Yearbook. For the past 40 years, our Yearbook has contributed to the field of Educational Technology in presenting contemporary topics, ideas, and developments regarding diverse technology tools for educational purposes. The Yearbook has inspired researchers, practitioners, and teachers to consider how to develop technological designs, curricula, and instruction, integrate technology to enhance student learning, teach diverse populations across levels with effective technological integration, and apply technology in interactive ways to motivate students to engage in course content. The audience for the Yearbook typically consists of media and technology professionals in K-12 schools, higher education, and business contexts. The Yearbook editors have dedicated themselves to providing a record of contemporary trends related to educational communications and technology. The Yearbook also strives to highlight special movements that have clearly influenced the educational technology field. This volume continues the tradition of offering topics of interest to professionals practicing in other areas of educational media and technology. The Yearbook has become a standard reference in many libraries and professional collections. It provides a valuable historical record of current ideas and developments in the field. Part One of this updated volume, “Trends and Issues in Learning, Design and Technology,” presents an array of chapters that develop some of the current themes listed above, in addition to others. In Part Two, “Leadership Profiles,” authors provide biographical sketches of the careers of instructional technology leaders. Part Three, “Graduate Programs in Learning, Design, and Technology,” and Part Four, “Organizations and Associations in North America,” are, respectively, directories of instructional technology-related organizations and institutions of higher learning offering degrees in related fields. Part Five, the “Mediagraphy,” presents an annotated listing of selected current publications related to the field.

Multimedia environments suggest to us a new perception of the state of changes in and the integration of new technologies that can increase our ability to process information. Moreover, they are obliging us to change our idea of knowledge. These changes are reflected in the obvious synergetic convergence of different types of access, communication and information exchange. The multimedia learning environment should not represent a passive object that only contains or assembles information but should become, on one side, the communication medium of the pedagogical intentions of the professor/designer and, on the other side, the place where the learner reflects and where he or she can play with, test and access information and try to interpret it, manipulate it and build new knowledge. The situation created by such a new learning environments that give new powers to individuals, particularly with regard to accessing and handling diversified dimensions of information, is becoming increasingly prevalent in the field of education. The old static equilibrium, in which fixed roles are played by the teacher (including the teaching environment) and the learner, is shifting to dynamic eqUilibrium where the nature of information and its processing change, depending on the situation, the learning context and the individual's needs.
