AECT HistoryAECT’s roots trace to 1922, when people began to think about developinglearning strategies in a systematic way. These efforts were greatlyaccelerated during and after World War II as new technologies madeefficient teaching and learning paramount. These approaches wereeventually codified as a new field, instructional design.As technology evolved, notably with the development of computing powersince the 1970s, academics and practitioners have sought ways to usethese new technologies to enhance teaching and learning. The adventof the internet in the 1990s made the delivery of online courses possible,which democratized learning for the masses.AECT has been there through every stage of this incredible evolutionof technology and learning. For nearly a century, AECT has been thepreeminent organization for professionals dedicated to harnessingtechnology for better learning. AECT continues to be at the forefrontof this evolving field, and we look forward to what the next 100 yearswill bring.14
