This collection brings together four articles which examine both broad approaches to the history of educational technology and more specific analysis of particular technologies. The broader reviews investigate different research patterns and the different challenges and contexts that such research has responded to. The specific analyses examine the development of eportfolios and VLEs. The history of educational technology is under-documented and this collection seeks to add to the literature in this field.
