UW-Milwaukee Educational Communications Division Records, 1958-1993

Biography/History

In late 1964, faculty members of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee met informally to discuss educational technology and its increasing effect on the campus. The group formally became the Instructional Media Committee and founded the Instructional Media Laboratory on December 1, 1966, which reported directly to the UW-Milwaukee administration. The laboratory took over certain duties of the Curriculum Library. In late 1978, the name of the laboratory was changed to the Educational Communications Division. Currently, the division reports to the School of Education.
