The list of essential reading

On-line books and articles

  • Search the wiki for the moment ...

Research handbooks

  • Jonassen David H. (ed.) (2003), Handbook of Research on Educational Communications and Technology, 2nd edition.
    • This is an excellent reader written by top experts in the field. However, DSchneider does not recommend buying it. Become a member of AECT and get free access to the on-line version + 2 free journals.
    • A third edition is under preparation
  • Mayer, Richard, E. (ed.) (2005). The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0521547512
    • The reference on multi-media learning. As a simpler alternative for practitioners, consider Clark and Meyer (2003), below.
  • Reigeluth (ed.) (1999). Instructional-Design Theories and Models: A New Paradigm of Instructional Theory, Vol. 2 (Instructional Design Theories & Models), Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. ISBN 0805828591
    • This also one of the most cited readers with well written articles.
    • A third edition is under preparation

Textbooks for educational technology students and practitioners

General

  • Reiser Robert A. and John V. Dempsey (eds). (2006). Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology, 2nd edition. Prentice Hall. ISBN: 0131708058
    • This book defines and describes in short chapters the converging fields of instructional design, educational / instructional technology, learning theory and performance technology. In particular section 2 with articles by Driscoll, Jonassen, Hannafin, Merril, Merriënboer is worth buying it.
  • Seels Barbara B. and Rita C. Richey (1994). Instructional Technology: The Definition and Domains of the Field, Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT), ISBN 0892400722
    • Outdated, but still interesting but of its discussion of the 5 domains (design, development, utilization, management and evaluation) and their sources of influence from other fields.

Multimedia

  • Alessi, Stephen. M. & Trollop, Stanley. R., (2001) Multimedia for Learning (3rd Edition), Pearson Allyn & Bacon, ISBN 0-205-27691-1.
    • This is probably the best overall introductory textbook for interactive multimedia educational technology and related instructional design issues, but it is weak regarding in CMC, including e-learning).
  • Clark Ruth Colvin and Richard E. Mayer (2003). E-Learning and the Science of Instruction: Proven Guidelines for Consumers and Designers of Multimedia Learning, Pfeiffer, ISBN 0787960519
    • A very good book if you are interested in e-learning content design. R. E. Meyer is a top researcher in multimedia presentation and animation

Pedagogy

  • Joyce, B., Weil, M., Calhoun, E. : Models of teaching, 6th edition, Allyn & Bacon, 2000. ISBN 0205389279.
