This study of the impact of technology on education is an in-depth case study of 25 educational institutions, including both public school districts and colleges and universities. Information was gathered through the use of a lengthy questionnaire and a comprehensive telephone and/or site visit interview. Aspects of the study include the role of technology--primarily computers--in the instructional program, in policy structure, in management support services, and in teacher training and teaching functions. The strategies employed by the study institutions provide a frame of reference for current and future technological trends in education. (Author/JB)
