The AECT Vision 2000 Task Force has been hard at work
incorporating the changes suggested by this discussion list and those
provided through the direction of AECT President Kent Gustafson and
the Board of Directors.  The Task Force met in Pittsburgh May 13-15,
and we hope to have another, and close to final, draft ready within a
couple of weeks.  In the meantime, could you give us your thoughts on
a revision of the AECT mission statement which might look something
like the following:
-
MISSION
As a dynamic international professional organization, the Association
for Educational Communications and Technology promotes the
effective application of technology in the teaching/learning process at
all levels and in all cultures.
-
In this type of statement, the major vision areas and goals would not be
substantially changed; however, lower level objectives and
implementation strategies could reflect both the international theme
and the reach of technology (educational, instructional, informational)
across a teaching/learning process which can be addressed from
various points of view by AECT's constituent groups.  The Vision
document would continue to use the term instructional technology as
the term that AECT has adopted in the new definition of the field (in
press).
-
The Task Force will appreciate your thoughts.  Please address
comments back to the list so all can see them. Rusty...
