Abstract
In 1986, the Trustees of Teachers College established the Institute for Learning Technologies (ILT) with the mission of using digital technologies as means to effect humane reform in education. During ILT's first years, we developed initial ideas about the potential for networked multimedia as transformative forces in educational practice. At the time, these ideas struck most funders as too visionary and impracticable. We struggled to find implementation opportunities, prototyping some possibilities on a small scale internally and on a larger scale at the Dalton School.

Over the past ten years, these explorations have been ILT's primary activity.
