The purpose of this paper is to identify 1) promising future directions for the development of educational technology, and 2) who should carry out the needed research and development. Principal recommendations include: intelligent drill and practice, simulations that teach procedural skills, generic videodiscs, lessons for libraries and science and technology museums, adaptive tests, programs for teachers and parents, programs that teach technology related skills, intellectual tools for students, and computer networks for education. These tasks should be undertaken by centers that are publicly and privately supported.

Anandam and Kelly present the case for evaluation of two technologies in education-Television and Computer-based instruction [1]. Overlooked in their article was the role of the telephone as an educational technology. This article addresses the effectiveness, extensiveness, and endurance of the telephone as an educational technology delivery method. Initial concern is for effectiveness which if proven leads to extensiveness and possible endurance. The future of the telephone as an independent or complimentary technology appears secure.

This paper reports on a state-of-the-art conference held at the New York Institute of Technology on April 24 and 25,1983. The objective of the conference was to clarify the issues relating to applications of technology to education. Conferees identified six major technologies having great potential for education in mathematics, science, and technology: computers; educational television; videotex, databases, and computer-based telecommunications; video discs; intelligent video discs; and robotics. In addition, the conferees suggested exploration of combinations of these technologies and vigilant attention to new technologies as they emerge to identify educational applications. The report also includes discussion of the evidences of effectiveness of educational technology, quality of courseware, and twenty-eight recommendations. These recommendations are action suggestions that are being forwarded to the National Science Foundation's Commission for Precollege Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology for inclusion in their report.

When technology is used for assessment in music, certain considerations can affect the validity, reliability, and depth of analysis. This chapter explores factors that are present in the three phases of the assessment process: recognition, analysis, and display of assessment of a musical performance. Each phase has inherent challenges embedded within internal and external factors. The goal here is not to provide an exhaustive analysis of any or all aspects of assessment but, rather, to present the rationale for and history of using technology in music assessment and to examine the philosophical and practical considerations. A discussion of possible future directions of product research and development concludes the chapter.
