In additional to the recommended articles, the following books are recommended to provide a foundation for understanding Cognitive Science and its applications for interactive, networked media.
Bruer, John T. (1993) Schools For Thought: A Science of Learning in the Classroom. Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press. This book provides an understanding of how underlying problems and cognitive science theories relate to a tradition of research and practice. Covers a range of research and theories as they relate to various basic educational skills. Henry, Paul David and De Libero, Gene (1996) Strategic Networking. Boston: International Thomson Computer Press.
Also, browse Doc's Book Shelf for a "short list" of recommended books on the topics that are essential to online learning and development: e-learning, information architecture, Web and software usability and human factors.
It features recommended books and other publications that can be obtained online (for free or at a discount). These books have been found helpful by Program House consulting clients as well as by participants of the Program House e-learning courses, seminars, and forums.
