There a limited number of learning mediums. These are:
- Simulated immersive environments (Virtual Reality)
- Classroom face-to-face
- Self-paced online (eLearning)
- Self-paced offline (Training Guide)
- Field face-to-face
Although there are a limited number of learning mediums, there are however, an unlimited number of learning activities. Learning activities are determined during the design and scripting of instructional strategies. The types of activities learners participate in vary depending on the medium of instruction. For example, in a classroom, learners may be instructed to break into small groups and work on a specific problem. In a field setting, learners may be shown how perform a specific task, and then given the opportunity to perform the task. In a virtual medium, learners may be required to identify certain objects and/or respond to certain prompts presented to them in the virtual medium.
