Michael J. Hannafin
Known for	Work in educational technology

Michael J. Hannafin (died 2020) was an American professor and academic known for his work in educational technology. He was a professor at the University of Georgia in the educational psychology department and director of the Learning and Performance Support Lab. He was once editor-in-chief of the journal Educational Technology Research and Development.

After starting his career working as a school psychologist, he received a Ph.D. in educational technology from Arizona State University in 1981. He went on to work at the University of Colorado, Pennsylvania State University, and Florida State University, before moving to the University of Georgia in 1995. Along with Kyle Peck, he developed the field of computer-aided instruction as distinguished from computer-based instruction.

Early life and education

Hannafin obtained a Bachelor of Science in psychology with a minor in education from the Fort Hays State University in May 1972. Two years later in August 1974 he further obtained a Master's of Science in educational/school psychology from the same university. Seven years later, in August 1981, he completed his Ph.D. in educational technology.

Career and research

In 1989, Hannafin became a professor at Florida State University.

In 1992 and 1993, Hannafin was a visiting professor at the United States Air Force Academy.

In 1995, Hannafin moved to the University of Georgia.

He received the AERA SIG- IT Best Paper Award in 2007.
