The *Handbook of Research on Educational Communications and Technology* is a comprehensive resource edited by J. Michael Spector, M. David Merrill, Jeroen J.G. van Merrienboer, and Marcy P. Driscoll. Published in 2008 by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, the book is organized into six main parts: Foundations, Strategies, Technologies, Models, Design and Development, and Research Methodologies. Each part is led by one of the co-editors and includes contributions from various experts in the field. The book is designed to be useful for doctoral students, faculty, and researchers, providing extensive references and insights into the latest developments in educational technology. Part I, led by Marcy P. Driscoll, covers historical, theoretical, and methodological foundations. It includes chapters on the evolution of educational technology, complexity theory, experiential perspectives, empirical perspectives, contextualism, and philosophical perspectives. Part II, led by M. David Merrill, focuses on strategies, including representation strategies, embodied curriculum design, generative learning, feedback strategies, technology-enhanced support for inquiry learning, collaborative activity, and prescriptive principles for instructional design. Part III, led by J. Michael Spector, delves into technologies, covering programmed technologies, educational hypertext, computer-mediated technologies, computer-mediated communications, K-12 library media centers, technology-based knowledge systems, flexible learning environments, blended learning, adaptive technologies, generational differences, learning objects, open source and open standards, and modeling technologies. Part IV, led by Jeroen van Merrienboer, discusses models of learning, including human cognitive architecture, outcome-referenced and conditions-based theories, cooperation and technology, cognitive apprenticeship, whole-task models, and model-facilitated learning. Overall, the *Handbook of Research on Educational Communications and Technology* provides a detailed and multidisciplinary overview of the field, making it a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and students interested in educational technology.The *Handbook of Research on Educational Communications and Technology* is a comprehensive resource edited by J.
