Editorial

The Australian Society for Educational Technology was established in 1977 and since that time has published a regular Yearbook.

The Yearbooks have always contained a variety of informative and useful articles and it soon became apparent that these deserved a wider readership. It is expected that the new title of Journal will reflect more accurately what is in the publication and will attract many readers (and subscribers) both in this country and overseas.

The direction of this new journal is not yet known but already enough articles have been received to publish a second issue immediately. It is quite likely that there will be at least two issues each year.

It is the feeling of this editorial board that the AJET should be both accurate and scholarly but that it should not become dessicated. Contributions which are clear, concise (and even entertaining) should be welcomed.

At the beginning of 1985, the Information Technologies seem to be developing at an exponential rate and Education is more important than it has ever been. The Australian Journal of Educational Technology is born at a most appropriate time.
