Abstract: The educational technology enterprise can promote innovation not simply by finding and using makeshift instruments and procedures but by creating new systems and materials to solve educational problems. Five fundamental manifestations of technology for educational change are examined with particular reference to Canadian activities. These foci are: psychotechnology, information and communications technology, organisational technology, cybernetic systems technology and educational planning. Each is vitally concerned with the optimal organisation of resources for education and therefore with educational innovation.
TL;DR: In this article, specific programs to meet the increasing demands for engineering technicians during the 1970s can be particularly well implemented by community colleges and can be found in the 1990s and 2000s.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated a technologically mediated college-level biology course and found that the learning environment is superior and student acceptance of technology is overwhelmingly favorable, while the multimedia program has had a positive effect on the teaching learning process.
Abstract: Evaluation of a technologically mediated college-level biology course has been done objectively as well as subjectively. Comparison is made with data accumulated from a traditionally taught biology course. Comparison reveals grade improvement through the use of educational technology. The learning environment is superior and student acceptance of technology is overwhelmingly favorable. The multimedia program has had a positive effect on the teaching-learning process. The challenge is to develop and use systems more effectively.
