The recommendations of the Chico State College Task Force on Instructional Media are presented, along with several supporting position papers. The major recommendations listed are that: 1) all learning resources, such as the library, the media center, and the computer system, should be coordinated into a functioning integrated system; 2) faculty…

This paper predicts that microelectronic circuitry will have an impact on education comparable to that of the industrial revolution or the invention of the printing press. Present conditions influencing educational technology and trends are considered in light of five considerations: (1) recent redefinitions of what educational technology is; (2)…
