Chapter in Major Online Reference

A chapter I have authored, The Promise of Systemic Design, will soon be available in a major on-line reference work:
AECT-Springer Online Major Reference Work (MRW) 
An online Major Reference Work (MRW) co-sponsored by AECT and Springer entitled Learning, Design, and Technology: An International Compendium of Theory, Research, Practice and Policy has been launched covering topics concerning research and practice related to the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of learning environments, instructional systems, and performance technologies. This is an ongoing effort with an evolving collection of contributions that have been peer reviewed.
