Abstract
As the use of computers and other electronic media increases substantially in the workplace, so does the need for quicker delivery of educational material using present day technology.  Traditional CII education material has consisted primarily of written lesson plans presented in a classroom setting. Due to lost productivity and the cost of travel for off-site training, companies are reducing their use of classroom training. To investigate how to satisfy this need for information through technology, the CII Education Committee formed the Technology-Assisted Learning (TAL) Research Team. The key objectives of the team were to survey the training industry for trends in the electronic delivery of training materials and to identify opportunities for utilizing this technology in the delivery of CII research to member companies.   The team found that for many of the CII education modules, the Internet can deliver the factual content and be followed by a workshop where the training is completed. This arrangement combines the strengths of both methods: the delivery efficiency of the internet and the learning reinforcement and networking in a workshop environment. The results show that CII could see more widespread implementation of its research results by using technology-assisted learning techniques.
