Description
This collection of papers from the Association of Educational and Training Technology's 1993 International Conference focuses on designing for learning. Amidst the diversity of new patterns of access, provision and delivery in education and training, designing for learning remains the imperative for trainers and educators. The contributions in this year's volume address fundamental issues of course design, policy and practice around the themes of effectiveness and efficiency. Effectiveness in learning is the aim, but increasingly new constraints and stringencies are demanding even greater efficiency and so present a strong challenge to the designers of educational and training technology.
