Intended to be equally useful to high school and college instructors, this book contains studies in history pedagogy, among them the first three published essays measuring qualitatively and quantitatively the successes and failures of "e-teaching" and distance learning. Collectively, the essays urge instructors to take the next step with computing technology, that is, to go beyond the passive modes and to create truly interactive instruction. Following an introductory essay "Technology and the History Classroom: Where Are We? Where Are We Headed?" (D. A. Trinkle), essays in the book are: (1) "Academic Historians, Electronic Information Access Technologies, and the World Wide Web: A Longitudinal Study of Factors Affecting Use and Barriers to That Use" (D.
