First School Museum opened in St. Louis
During this time period most educators thought of instructional media as a supplementary way of presenting information. Mostly visual media materials in the museums. (Robert A. Reiser & John V. Dempsey, (2012). Chapter 3: A History of Instructional Design and Technology. In Pearson Education, Inc., (Eds.), Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology (pp.17-34). Boston, MA: Pearson Education, Inc.) -
1910: U.S. First catalog of instructional films published.
Rochester Public School system because first to use films regularly as instructional tool. -
1920-1930: Audiovisual Instruction Movement
Advances in technology like radio broadcasting, sound recordings and sound motion pictures increaded interest in instructional media. Movement continued to grow in spite of bad economic cliimate of the Great Depression, which began in 1929. (pp18) -
1920-1930: Radio is a medium that is in the spotlight but never really takes off.
-
1929: The Great Depression
-
1937: Textbook Visualizing the Curriculum by Charles F. Hoban, Sr., Charles F. Hoban, Jr., and Stanley B. Zissman was published
A very important textbook in the field was published. According to Reiser "the authors stated that the value of audiovisual material was a function of their degree of realism." (pp19). -
1953: Theories of Communication are developed
Theories emerged that the process of transmitting information was more important than the method with which it was passed. (pp 19) -
Period: to
1939-1945: WWII- new audiovisual devises are used
New devices were used during WWII, including overhead projectors, slide projectors, audio equipment, and simulators and training devices. (pp19) -
1939-1945 World War II
War slowed down progression of audiovisual use in schools but spurred extensive use in the military for military training videos. (pp19) -

Period: to
1950-1960: Television spurs increased interest
Big increase in the use of instructional television during the 1950s. This growth was caused by two major factors: 1) creation of education television channels/ Public TV stations 2) Ford Foundation funding -
Period: to
1950s: IBM develops first Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) programs used in public schools
The start of computer assisted instruction, mainly at IMB comany, but CAI didn't really become significantly until the 1980s when the personal computer became much more common and use in schools increased to around 40%. (pp20). -
Period: to

Models for developing systematic instructional materials started to be developed. (pp25) -

New models and standards in the field of Instructional Design were developed. (pp25) -
1977- Association for Educational Community and Technology definition of Instructional Technology (pp2)
AECT publishes definition of Instructional Design. -
1980s: Computers were used in the instructional design process (pp26)
-
Period: to
1980's: Field continues to grow and starts to feel influence of cognitive psychology. (pp26)
-
1980s: CAI became more common
"By January 1983, computers were being used for instructional purposes in more than 40 percent of all elementary schools and more than 75 percent of all secondary schools in the United States." (pp20) -
Period: to
1990-2015: Increase in evaluation of effectiveness of training methodologies
The idea that there could be more standard formats to render teaching and training more effective become more common and makes the need for instructional design and designers grow. Training is used in many aspects of business, government, and military in addition to schools. Online learning and Internet make training and education more accessible and create a need for course development. -
1993: Lebow Proposes 5 Principles toward a new mindset of ID
Lebow Proposes 5 Principles toward a new mindset as constructivist values might influence instructional design (Woolfolk Hoy, 2016) -
1994- Shift from behavioral learning to cognitive and constructivist theories (pp3)
-
1994: Definition of the field evolves and is no longer described as process oriented (pp3)
The goal of ID is the improvement of learning and the instruction is a means to reach the goal. -
mid-1990s: Impact of CAI had still been small
Computers were more common in schools but were not used often. -
Period: to
2000--present- Increase in use of technology across training and educational settings
"During the past ten years, rapid advances in computers and other digital technology, inlcuding the Internet, have led to a rapidly increasing interest in, and use of, these media for instructional purposes." (pp 21) -
Period: to

Instructional technology is used much more in higher education in the past decade. (pp21) -
2015: Technology is very prevalent and is used in a more interactive way
Newer medias allow for interactive teaching and variety and are used much more in current classrooms and training environments for both children and adults. (p22-23) -
