A list of 57 aims was prepared relevant to a course on educational technology for in‐service teachers. This list was presented to 50 ex‐students, all of whom were in‐service teachers, and to colleagues of these ex‐students who had not taken an in‐service course in educational technology. All of the teachers were invited to rank the stated aims in terms of importance and the results from non‐students and ex‐students were compared and discussed. The results showed that while all teachers rated good design and teaching strategy as being more important than audio‐visual aids, ex‐students of an in‐service educational technology course were more positive in their assertions and rated additional aspects of educational technology above audio‐visual aids in importance.
