Abstract
Martin Weller’s 25 Years of Ed Tech aims to contribute to the history
of the educational technology (ed tech) field which is seen as a nascent
area throughout the years. While the author introduces the prevalent
ed tech applications and tools throughout the 25 years, he hopes
these technologies, lessons learned and experienced gained, can put
up to the future implementations of ed tech in higher education. The
author examined 25 technologies over 25 years, starting from 1994
until 2018 (Figure 1). Using his personal experiences, reflections
from the field and preferences in the selection of these technologies,
the author prioritizes each year in which the related technology
was effective, not the year it emerged. Even though the choice of
“one technology per year” seems to have undervalued some other
technologies or technological movements, it appears that there is a
need for other publications that should accompany this book, which
forms a basis for the ed tech history.
