The United States Department of Education continues to offer the

 

ERIC Database

at

https://www.eric.ed.gov

 

All ERIC Clearinghouses plus AskERIC will be closed permanently as of December 31, 2003.

 

In January 2004, the Department of Education will implement a reengineering plan for ERIC. The new ERIC mission continues the core function of providing a centralized bibliographic database of journal articles and other published and unpublished education materials. It enhances the database by adding free full text and electronic links to commercial sources and by making it easy to use and up to date.

 

From January 2004 until the new ERIC model for acquiring education literature is developed later in 2004, no new materials will be received and accepted for the database. However, the ERIC database will continue to grow, as thousands of documents selected by the ERIC clearinghouses throughout 2003 will be added. When the new model is ready later in 2004, the new ERIC contractor will communicate with publishers, education organizations, and other database contributors to add publications and materials released from January 2004 forward.

Survey of Instructional Development Models Survey of Instructional Development Models
Fourth Edition

Kent L. Gustafson and Robert Maribe Branch

This popular text, now in its fourth edition, provides readers with a solid understanding of the diversity and use of models used to portray the instructional development (ID) process, while reflecting the many changes in the field that have occurred since publication of the last edition in 1997.

Beginning with the belief that an ID model should be selected based on the specific context of the project, the authors present a classification schema for ID models that indicates whether a given model is best applied to developing individual classroom instruction, products for implementation by users other than the developers, or large and complex instructional systems directed at an organization’s problems or goals.

Gustafson and Branch offer a schema that will help guide the way in which instructional development models are adopted or adapted. The authors also present a brief history of ID models, explore numerous examples from each of the three categories in the schema, and discuss the latest trends in instructional development affecting the use of ID models.

Kent L. Gustafson is Professor Emeritus of Instructional Technology at the University of Georgia and Past President of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology. He presents regularly at major educational conferences in America and in many countries around the world.

Robert Maribe Branch is Professor and Department Head of Instructional Technology at the University of Georgia. A former Fulbright Lecturer/Researcher, he currently serves as Senior Editor of the Educational Media and Technology Yearbook and consults regularly with businesses and government and educational institutions.
