INTEGRATING INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR DESIGNING ELECTRONIC LEARNING SYSTEMS.

In this paper the concepts of technology, instructional technology, and information technology are presented. The integration of instructional technology, and information technology is established and its implications for electronic learning systems design are discussed. One can say that: information and instructional designers can design instruction and learning successfully if they choose the right resources, tools and processes accompanied with well designed softwares. This will be achieved only by collaboration among instructional technologists and information technologists. Thus electronic learning systems of high quality could be designed for the benefit of the learner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
