19th Annual Proceedings
Preface
For the nineteenth year, the Research and Theory Division of the Association
for Educational Communciations and Technology (AECT) is sponsoring the publica-
tion of these Proceedings. Papers published in this volume were presented at the
National AECT Convention in Albuquerque, NM. A limited quantity of this volume
were printed and sold. It is available on microfiche through the Educational Re-
sources Clearinghouse (ERIC) system.
REFEREEING PROCESS: All research papers selected for presentation at the
AECT convention and included in this Proceedings were subjected to a rigorous blind
reviewing process. All references to author were removed from proposals before they
were submitted to referees for review. Approximately fifty percent of the manuscripts
submitted for consideration were selected for presentation at the convention and for
publication in these Proceedings. The papers contained in this document represent
some of the most current thinking in educational communications and technology.
A selected number of development papers, sponsored by the Division for In-
structional Development (DID), are included in this Proceedings. The most important
instructional development papers were selected by the DID program chairs for publi-
cation.
This volume is indexed by both author and descriptors. The index for volumes
1-6 (1979-84) is included in the 1986 Proceedings, and the index for volumes 7-10 is
in the 1988 Proceedings. After 1988, each volume contains indexes for that year only.
