Educational Technology

Educational technology is generally considered to be a superset of Instructional Technology.
A definition provided by AECT (in Januszewski & Molenda, 2008) states:
Educational technology is the study and ethical practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using, and managing appropriate technological processes and resources.
Januszewski & Molenda created this visual representation of that definition (p. 5):
