Editorial 
 
This issue coincides with the first meeting of the new Australian Society 
for Educational Technology. The chapters have now come together to form 
a national association which will be incorporated in the ACT. It is hoped 
that the success of the last few years will be continued under the new 
national constitution. 
 
This issue is an eclectic one which combines the talents of many different 
interests. It is encouraging to see further contributions from outside 
Australia and I hope that we can see more interchange between Australian 
and especially our near neighbours, especially in Southeast Asia. Over the 
next few months I hope to encourage participation in the journal by our 
colleagues in the region. 
 
AJET welcomes your contributions to the next issue, please ensure that 
your paper or ideas reach us before the deadline (November 11th 1989) 
and preferably a hard copy with a disc (IBM or Macintosh format).
