2011 Dean and Sybil McClusky Research Award
The ECT Foundation's Dean and Sybil McClusky Research Award is presented to honor the most outstanding doctoral research proposal in educational technology, as selected by a jury of researchers from the Research and Theory Division of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT).
The awardee receives a cash award of $500 with a plaque of achievement presented during the awards ceremony at the 2011 annual convention to be held November 8-12, 2011, Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront in Jacksonville, Florida.
Background
F. Dean McClusky was a professor of education at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Kinder, who was the coordinator of AV Services at San Diego State College. McClusky's wife, Sybil Kemp McClusky, working as his editorial assistant, offered constructive criticism and proofread manuscripts.
In 1976 the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) posthumously awarded McClusky its Distinguished Service Award, recognizing his outstanding leadership in advancing the theory and practice of educational communications and technology over a substantial period of time.
