1960’s and 1970’s
Educational broadcasting (1960s)Closed-circuit television system used in:Washington county MarylandJunior college in ChicagoAirborne Instruction Midwest Program
170 million spent until the 60s (Gordon, 1970) Ford Foundation started supporting PBT in 1963 (Blakely, 1979) School districts discontinued use due to lack of funding (Tyler,
1975) Instructional television shifted to cultural programming (Hezel,
1980)
Audiovisual movement (AV):“branch of educational theory and practice
concerned primarily during the design and use of messages that control the learning process”Educational technology as media to provide the
students with information.Developers had little interest in the
communication process model during the 60s (Shannon & Weaver, 1949)
Evolution of ComputersMainframe systems for programming/shared
utilities (1960s)Mainframe minicomputers systems for
schools used in large scale(1970s)Desktop computers (1970s)Xerox – Mouse (1973) IBM discontinued IBM 1500 (1975) - CAI)Laser Printer Developed
Changing Field Definitions (1960’s – 1970’s)James Finn (1963) -Instructional technologyArthur Luehrman (1970s)- Computer literacy Association for Educational Communications
and Technology (AECT)(Dept of Audiovisual instruction): placed
emphasis on online and computer systems as “media”
Commission on Instructional Technology (Saettler, 1970): “the media born of the communication revolution which can be used for instructional purposes…” and “systematic way of designing, carrying out, and evaluating the total process of learning and teaching…”
Computers and Instruction:Educational computing (instructional/admin
support)Computers used in the classrooms (1960s)Programmers created applications (1960s)Educators started researching/developing
computer applications (1970s)Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)Software publishing movement
Companies that Started:During the 1960s Electronic Data Systems (EDS) California Analysis Center, Inc. (CACI)Management Science America (MSA) During the 1970s MicrosoftSoftware Arts
Estimated 45 major software companies by 1965Programming languages used: COBOL and FORTRAN
CAI systems (1960s) :Applications in public schools and universities PLATO (Control Data Corporation)Tutor CAI authoring languageTICCIT (Brigham Young University)Interest in CAI vanished by end of the 70s (Atkinson &
Suppes)
