Reviews / Votes
"This book makes a clear appeal to the role of the educational technologies in learning institutions instead of addressing the ambiguous roles instructional designers often assume. This educational technology book is a strong classroom text and an indispensable reference for the educational technologist." (Jennifer L. Culbertson and Craig D. Howard, TechTrends, Vol. 64, 2020)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
