The ERIC Clearinghouse on Information & Technology
web site is no longer in operation.

 

The United States Department of Education continues to offer the

 

ERIC Database

at

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the core function of providing a centralized bibliographic database of journal articles and other published and unpublished education materials.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.

  • NEW! Instructional Design Competencies: The Standards. Third Edition. by Rita C. Richey, Dennis C. Fields, and Marguerite Foxon with Robert C. Roberts, Timothy Spannaus, and J. Michael Spector.

    In 1986, the International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction (IBSTPI) published the first edition of Instructional Design Competencies: The Standards. It was the culmination of work that began in 1978. In retrospect, that work occurred in the infancy (or at least the toddler years) of the practice of instructional design (ID). In this volume IBSTPI presents its latest view of the competencies of instructional designers. It is a greatly expanded view that reflects the complexities of current practice and technology, theoretical advancements, and the social tenor of the times. Nonetheless, it is a view that is still rooted in the traditional notion of instructional design competence. 220 pp. (approx.) 6" x 9"; $20.00; IR-111. (ISBN: 0-937597-52-X)

  • The Legacy of Robert M. Gagne by Rita C. Richey

    The Legacy of Robert M. Gagne is a three-part text.
    The first five chapters, written by Gagne, present Gagne's theories of human development, instruction, and learning. The next four chapters, written by Gagne's colleagues, reflect on the pervasiveness of Gagne's ideas, and the final chapter considers the future role of Robert M. Gagne's influence in instructional design. Visit the table of contents and excerpt. VISA and MasterCard accepted.


  • Surviving Change: A Survey of Educational Change Models by James B. Ellsworth

    Ellsworth fashions a theoretical roadmap for managing change based upon the change literature. This text makes several "assumptions" about approaching change: (1) that change can be understood and managed, (2) that there are several helpful models for managing change, and (3) that lasting change considers the needs and priorities of many stakeholder groups.
