Delivery and media selection is the fourth and final element of an instructional strategy.

The delivery system refers to the systems necessary to allow a particular instructional system to operate as it was intended and where it was intended. Examples include:

• Classroom
• Correspondence
• Television broadcasting
• Videotaping
• Videoconference
• Computer-based
• Web-based
• Mobile

Once the delivery system is specified, media are chosen for instructional deliver and activities. Dick, Carey, and Carey (2005) define media constitutes the physical elements in the learning environment with which learners interact in order to learn something.

Media selection, and media development considerations, within a distance education environment will be discussed in detail in the next module.
