The Association officially endorses this definition of
Instructional Technology which has been developed over three years
by the Committee on Definition and Terminology. The Association
recognizes that other theoretical frameworks exist and that these
are valid, but believes that these are part of the more inclusive
theoretical framework of Instructional Technology used in this
definition. In making this definition and the document explaining
it available, we hope to help other organizations clarify their
relationship to the broad field of Instructional Technology.
Although the Association offers this definition as its current
position, it is committed to a continuous reevaluation of the
definition and to revising and publishing it so that it reflects
changing concepts and terminology. A document of this magnitude can
only be produced as the result of the dedication and effort of the
persons who formed the committee and of its chairperson, Barbara
Seels and her collaborator, Rita C. Richey. Without their energies,
skill, perseverance, and willingness to risk stating their
perceptions in this format we could not have offered this document.
Whether or not we agree with the statements presented here, they
will provide a benchmark and a point of dialogue for further
development of a profession which seeks to provide conditions for
effective learning. Originally published in 1994.
