TLTC - Instructional Media Selecting Instructional Media Select methods, media, and materials to meet the needs of the audience and to address the objectives.
Media differ in their characteristics and, hence, in their suitability for different purposes.
For example, some media, such as computers and live lecture, are interactive. Other media, such as audio- or videotaped presentations, are not. In the rush to accommodate learning styles, the basic characteristics of media should not be discounted. Instructional products should also be adaptable for use by persons with disabilities. Therefore, media choices or media duplication should accommodate users with visual impairments, hearing impairments, learning disabilities, and motor disabilities.
