Educational and learning aids are a part of educational technology, as old as humanity itself. Humans have known educational tools since God created them and placed them on this earth, teaching Adam's son the art that showed him how to deal with his brother's body, which is known today as simulation or beneficial imitation. These aids have undergone a long journey of development, evolving from one stage to another, reaching their most advanced state at the beginning of the 21st century through their connection with modern communication theory and reliance on a systems approach. They have become an essential part of an interactive system that integrates with all elements of the educational situation.
With this development, concepts and terminologies have become intertwined, leading to confusion between educational technology, instructional technology, technology in education, and teaching aids. Therefore, this book serves to clarify and differentiate between these concepts. Furthermore, the author found no specialized book in the Arab library on the methods of designing and producing educational and learning aids; most books focus on educational technology, instructional devices, or classifications of aids, concentrating on theory rather than practical application. This book, therefore, clarifies the methods of designing and producing educational aids, from educational boards to computerized programs, and is the culmination of the author's fifteen years of effort in the field.
The book contains twenty chapters covering topics from the fundamentals of educational technology and communication models to the practical design and production of various aids like educational boards, caricatures, posters, printing skills, real objects, models, puppets, simulation, educational games, scientific inventions, still images, transparencies, slides, audio-visual programs, and finally, how to prepare computerized educational programs.
