• Jensen and Sandlin Book entitled Electronic Teaching and Learning: Trends in Adapting to Hypertext, Hypermedia, and Networks in Higher Education (both the 1994 and the 1997 Versions)
  http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/245cont.htm

  Both the 1994 and the 1997 versions of this book are intended to make educators more informed about past, present, and future impacts of technology on education. Chapter 2 of the book raises many questions concerning why educators must change with the times and what dangers lurk for using technologies in ineffective ways. Chapter 3 reviews software and hardware options for authoring course modules or entire course management systems on CDs, campus networks, and the Internet. Chapter 4 summarizes what accountancy professors are using for technology aids around the world. Chapters 5 and 6 review the research and opinions of leading educators and technology developers.

• I want to thank all of you who responded to my request for the latest thinking on using students as subjects in behavioral research experiments.  The general conclusions are that external validity tends to be low in such studies even though students are commonly employed for convenience and cost reasons.  You can read more about it and read abstracts of some of the most widely cited papers on this topic at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/student1.htm
