Title: From magic lanterns to teaching machines: Myths and symbols of the instructional technology revolution in American higher education

Abstract: In the 1910s, educators proclaimed "revolution" in instruction in higher education, and in nearly every decade between the 1910s and 1970s, educators made similar declarations. Each new phase of revolution occurred simultaneously with the appearance of a new technological device; products that appeared between the years 1910 and 1970 include film, radio, television, and teaching machines. A common set of myths and symbols attended the appearance of each of these new products. The myths and symbols of the technological revolution reveal a cyclical pattern in the history of technology in higher education.
