The document outlines the timeline of instructional design and technology from the 1910s to the current era. It describes how instructional methods evolved from early educational films without sound in the 1910s-1920s to incorporating audio, motion pictures, radio, and television in the 1920s-1950s. Computer-aided instruction became popular in the 1960s-1970s, and personal computers became more widely used in libraries, schools, and homes in the 1980s-1990s with the rise of the internet. Today's technologies allow for unlimited access to instruction through learning management systems on various mobile devices.

1. Instructional Design and Technology Timeline

2. 1910s to 1920s
 Instructional education took place with visual aids such as film. The film did not
have emotion nor did it include sound. An example of educational film is below:

3. 1920s to 1950s
Beginning in the 1920s thru 1950s, audio, motion and pictures with sounds help to provide other resources in
instruction design and delivery. Motion pictures, movies, educational radio, television shows and projectors were a
number of tools used to advance education and instruction.

4. 1960s and 1970s
Computer aided instruction became popular during
this time. Especially in the fields on engineering
and computer science. Computers were actually
used in higher education classroom as part of
instruction. There was usually limited number of
computers in the classroom and usually accessible
to the instructors and researchers only.

5. 1980s and 1990s
Personal Computers became more
accessible and used more by the public.
Libraries, k-12 classrooms and homes
began to house personal computers.
The internet availability to the public by
World Wide Web (WWW) occurred
during this era. Educational
advancements through computers and
technology took a huge leap and has
shown increasingly growth ever since.
Technology tools, equipment and usage
require some form of internet
connection.

6. 2000s to Current
Technology Innovations and advancements have allowed for instructional design and technology to reach
higher levels than ever before. Access is seemingly unlimited, availability is better each day and connection
among multiple users and interfaces increase daily. Education is moving to Learning Management systems
via the web and applications. The LMS can be accessed by personal computers, laptops, cell phones, tables
and other mobile devices.
