The Basics of Educational Technology for Tertiary Institutions (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

THE BASICS OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOR TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS is a well-researched book specifically written for students and lecturers of education at Universities and Colleges, as well as for serving school teachers. It is produced to address the current global dearth of relevant and adequately researched and easy-to-understand textbooks in educational technology. The language of presentation is so lucid that the book is devoid of those complex explanations and technical jargons that characterize most of the few available educational technology textbooks. The contents are not only rendered easily intelligible but also made adequate in scope and relevant to the educational context in Nigeria and elsewhere. Comprising ten well-organized chapters, the book exhaustively treats fundamental concepts, issues and topics in educational technology such as: *concept, history and role of educational technology; * communication in teaching; *educational media - designing, selection and utilization; *systems approach in educational technology; *educational technology-based innovations; learning theories in educational technology; * educational broadcasting centres in Nigeria; and * computers in education. The book will also be a priceless asset to lecturers of disciplines other than education as it will help them clarify their own theory and practice in relation to their subject areas.
