Edgar Dale

Edgar Dale: Edgar Dale (April 27, 1900 – March 8, 1985) was an American educationist who developed the Cone of Experience. He made several contributions to audio and visual instruction, including a methodology for analyzing the content of motion pictures. He was a professor of education at Ohio State University.

In 1933 Dale wrote a paper on how to effectively create a High School film appreciation class. This paper has been noted for having a very different view of adolescent interaction with films than that taken by the Film Control Boards of the time.^[1]

Dale's Cone of Experience has often been misrepresented by those who add numbers to the cone. Hundreds, if not thousands, of misrepresentations have been created.^{[clarification needed]}
