In chapter 55, authors focused on methods of data collection and analysis for assessment of individual learning processes. In chapter 56, five questions as a way of speculating about the future of scientific inquiry pertaining to educational communications and technology. Finally, authorss commented on the proper study of instructional design and how best to prepare educational technology practitioners and researchers.
