2. Program Delivery System A program delivery system is a planned and organized structure of individual program delivery methods that have been chosen for a specific educational purpose and are appropriately integrated to accomplish an educational objective. Some methods: –Experiential : those that allow the learner to gain experience with or to "feel" the information presented. It may occur through physical activity or it may involve the senses, emotions, or social interaction, depending on the content of the educational program. –Reinforcement: those that provide informational, emotional, or social support for the learner to facilitate learning and enhance or maintain the motivation to continue in the learning process. –Integrative – those that provide the learner with the opportunities to discuss, clarify, or otherwise gain greater understanding of new information. These methods generally provide opportunities for learners to merge new information with their existing knowledge. –Others - those methods that are applicable in a wide variety of systems or that can be used for limited or special situations
