Papers published in this volume were presented at the National AECT Convention in Long Beach, CA. A limited quantity of these Proceedings were printed and sold. It is also available on microfiche through the Educational Resources Clearinghouse (ERIC) system. REFEREEING PROCESS: Papers selected for presentation at the AECT Convention and included in these Proceedings were subjected to a rigorous blind reviewing process. All references to authorship were removed from proposals before they were submitted to referees for review. Approximately fifty percent of the manuscripts submitted for consideration were selected for presentation at the convention and for publication in these Proceedings. The papers contained in this document represent some of the most current thinking in educational communications and technology. This volume is indexed by both author and descriptor. The index for volumes 1 – 6 (1979 – 1984) is included in the 1986 Proceedings, and the index for volumes 7 – 10 is in the 1988 Proceedings. After 1988, each volume contains indexes for that year only. M. R.
