"More than 200 alphabetically arranged entries are the work of more than 120 contributors ... recommended for academic libraries." - Booklist "Few encyclopedias are devoted to educational technology ... Then along comes this work, the first major encyclopedia on the subject in eight years, edited by academic professionals and written for nonpractitioners." - Library Journal "A solid effort ... Recommended. General readers; undergraduates and graduate students." - Choice "The eBook version of this encyclopedia was used when writing this review. ABC-CLIO's eBook interface facilitates navigation by allowing for jumping to a particular chapter or page... People often consult reference titles for brief information rather than reading them from cover to cover. This is one of the reasons that reference books are often excellent candidates for use in an electronic environment that includes hyperlinks. This encyclopedia is recommended to academic libraries of all sizes, and to public and corporate libraries whose constituency would be interested educational technology." - Journal of Library & Information Services in Distance Learning
