  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Lessons in Leadership in the Field of Educational Technology

Abstract

He was also the founder and long-time director of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Information Resources. He had a career-long interest in establishing philosophical foundations and professional standards for the Educational Technology field–as indicated by his deep involvement in “definition” projects of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) from 1963 through 1994. Ely extended these interests internationally, consulting, teaching, and developing programs in The Netherlands, Chile, Peru, South Africa, Iran, and Indonesia. With his relentlessly positive, pastoral style he mentored generations of Educational Technology scholars and practitioners.
