ABSTRACT
Throughout this chapter, we use the term curriculum to refer to what many would call the "intended
curriculum," as opposed to the "implemented curriculum."
privately that research on learning does not seem very helpful in designing curricula; so they
make no attempt to carefully consider it during the design process. Additionally, curriculum
materials relying on technology often are based more on what is possible with the technology
rather than on what research suggests is possible or desirable for students (Battista, 1988).
