Abstract

In this chapter the editors and editorial assistants of this Handbook address five questions as a way of speculating about the future of scientific inquiry pertaining to educational communications and technology: (1) What have been the most significant developments in educational communications and technology in the last five years? (2) What are likely to be the most significant developments in the next five years? (3) What significant research findings have occurred in the last five years? (4) What are likely to be the most significant research issues in the next five years? (5) What are the most critical foundational aspects and factors for future research and development in educational communications and technology? In addition to addressing these questions, we also comment on the proper study of instructional design and how best to prepare educational technology practitioners and researchers.
