Editorial: Tutor, Tool, Tutee: A Vision Revisited

Robert Taylor’s (1980a) book, The Computer in the School: Tutor, Tool, Tutee, was a seminal work, bringing together essays written by a number of early pioneers in the field of educational computing. For the foreseeable future, computing will play an increasingly important role in human learning. However, no one yet knows exactly how great that role will eventually be, or precisely what form it will finally take. (Taylor, 1980b) Taylor ’s introduction is still required reading in the instructional technology program at the University of Virginia, as well as in other educational technology programs around the world
