This book delves into two divergent  yet parallel themes  first is an examination of how
educators can design the experiences of learning  with a focus on the learner and the end
results of education  and second  how educators learn to design educational products  processes
and experiences. The book seeks to understand how to design how learning occurs  both in the
instructional design studio and as learning occurs throughout the world. This will change the
area's semantics  at a deeper level  it will change its orientation from instructors and
information to learners  and it will change how educators take advantage of new and old
technologies. This book is the result of a research symposium sponsored by the Association for
Educational Communications and Technology [AECT].
