So, how should the choice be made concerning which method or methods to use to deliver training? Trainers should make this decision while simultaneously considering the objectives to be achieved, the resources available, and trainee characteristics and expertise. Although technology-based training is widely used, this may not be the best solution for every training situation.

There is increasing discussion of blended learning, which is some combination of traditional (classroom based) and technology-enhanced training. There are advantages to both trainees and organizations beyond what can be obtained using any single delivery method by itself.
