Professional Engineering Educators (CPEE) chose technologies for deliveringemployee education in high-technology industries, most particularly how or if they integratehuman considerations in that decision. Awareness of these issues is critical to a successfulinstructional design and a supportive learning environment. Understanding humanconsiderations heightens understanding of learner attitude À how, for example, a specificmedium affects oneÀs ability to learn and the degree of acceptance or resistance one invests inthe process. Sadly, the importance of such human elements is often minimized or ignored. Thequality of decisions improves dramatically when human elements are considered, andconsequently enhances the learning process.I. IntroductionFor
