Future of Instructional Technology
- Despite significant increases in online training and teaching, face to face classroom instruction is not declining. This indicates a trend in online teaching formats acting as a supplement to instruction rather than a replacement.
- Printed materials traditionally used in the classroom are not experiencing a decline in popularity.
- Telecommuting and media such as video conferencing or streaming is used primarily for military or large corporate communications with a widely distributed audience.
- Training for computer-based environments is growing but not at the anticipated rate.
- Decline in e-learning applications may be the result of resistance by the trainees and not by the institutions conducting the training.
