Mission
Education has undergone, and continues to undergo, immense changes in the way it is enacted and
distributed to both child and adult learners. From distance education, Massive-Open-Online-Courses
(MOOCs), and electronic tablets in the classroom, technology is now an integral part of the educational
experience and is also affecting the way educators communicate information to students.
The Advances in Educational Technologies & Instructional Design (AETID) Book Series is
a resource where researchers, students, administrators, and educators alike can find the most updated
research and theories regarding technology’s integration within education and its effect on teaching as
a practice.
