Although not stated explicitly by the editors, it appears that the objective of the book is to provide a review of the "state of the art," at least at the time the articles were written. Unfortunately, in spite of the more recent publication date, most of the articles date from the early 1980s. It covers the ways that new information technologies can be applied in education such as microcomputers; mainframes; video-conferencing etc ER -
