Talk:Instructional technology

message: Issue with definition/first citation: The citation points to a book that then attributes the definition to Seels and Richey, 1994. Not sure how this should be fixed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.235.248.10 (talk) 17:38, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Current entry is: Razavi(2005) advocate that educational technology cover instructional technology. It include instructional technology and the field study in human teaching and learning. So educational technology is broader than instructional technology. Instructional technology itself is consisted from two major parts. One is teaching technology and another is learning technology.
I am going to disagree with this on two counts:
1) The Razavi reference is to a Wikipedia entry that no longer exists. If this was Razavi's distinction, it can't be validated since his entry no longer exists.
2) I contend that he had it backwards - Ed Tech is a subset of Instructional Tech. Instructional Technology goes beyond the context of educational arenas such as schools, to include corporate training. In fact, many probably would argue that Instructional Technology is itself a subset of Human Performance Technology - but that's a different discussion.
I suggest we strike the above entry in question - how do others feel?
:IMO, any attempt to separate these terms is a semantic dichotomy that's not even wrong. In other words, your overall premise is 110% correct. Further, while I find your contention (2) makes deductive vocabulary sense (to me), and I'd maybe think of steering to that harbor if the ocean demanded respect, it's actually uncited WP:OR. So I wouldn't try to rescue this bullshit bingo upside down backwards straw dog. Edits underway. FeatherPluma (talk) 20:01, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I advocate expanding instructional technology to the field of education. By concentrating on the word instructional we do not effectively communicate to the uninformed that our field goes beyond just a few new tricks for teaching. We are about using all of the resources of educational theory and practice in developing and applying internet and computer technologies. By using this word we can enhance our status and gain more respect with educators.
