Instructional Film, Radio, and Television in the 21st Century: Conclusions and Predictions

Without hesitation, and with great certainty, we can state the following:

• Recorded moving images (television/film/video) will continue to be used in education
• The use of computers in education will increase
• As libraries, archives, and other learning object repositories expand efforts to provide virtual access to their collections, computers will increasingly be used to deliver video images to learners
• But, until technologies for delivery improve, learners will prefer to view moving images on television screens rather than on computer monitors
• Any predictions we make are bound to be confounded by the intersection of technological change and human preference.
