The Educational Technology Laboratory began in Evans Hall in 1986 as a joint
project of three departments at the
University of Delaware: Educational Studies, Computer and
Information Sciences, and Electrical Engineering. Its
original mission was to support graduate and faculty
research in computer-based education as well as the Masters
program in Computer-based Education in the Department of
Educational Studies. Since moving to Willard Hall Education
Building in 1989, the Laboratory has been supported by
grants from Ginn and Co., Xerox Imaging Systems, the
National Center on Adult Literacy, and the U.S. Department
of Education, as well as the University of Delaware. For a
number of years the ETL supported a Macintosh Star network
for the Department of Educational Studies and continues to
maintain an ftp and www server. The ETL www site is where you are now.
