educational technology is a subset of HPT?!?

Make me think of the tangled web we have woven. I thought that HPT was about improving performance.. this presumes base knowledge and Educational Technology is a tool to suport the construction of knowledge.

Educational Technology does not presume (to me) a functional skill set. It can be used to build knowledge at any level. HPT (to me) applies technology to "improve" performance of a particular skill set or process. It bridges a gap but does not necessarily do so effectively without base knowledge.

Good thing I payed my tuition.. I am going to have to dig deeper on this one!
