Instructional technology in education is the processes and tools used to enhance educational learning in the classroom. There are four different historical perspectives, which are media and AV, instructional systems/instructional design, vocational training, and computer systems. The media and AV perspective came around in the 1930's, where it was discovered that this kind of technology was a more effective way of delivering information to students than textbooks. Instructional systems and instructional design were post-World War II perspectives that were used to train a large number of personnel quickly and simultaneously. They felt that from experience, this would be an easier way to teach students and there was a belief that teachers and media could be an efficient way to teach students. Vocational training came about in the 1980's as a way to prepare students for leaving school and going into a career field. This brought about a major shift in education, taking away industrial arts such as woodworking and printing shops and putting students into labs with technological equipment. The last historical perspective are computer systems, which started in the 1950's and continued to gain momentum throughout the years as people began to see how computers could aid instruction.
