INSTRUCTOR-LED TRAINING (ILT) THRIVES ON ADAPTABILITY AND INTERACTION, crucial for adult learning as highlighted by Knowles's andragogy principles. It offers a dynamic platform for real-time feedback and discussions, fostering a learning community vital for engagement and retention. Garrison et al.'s work on computer conferencing supports ILT's role in facilitating critical inquiry and social presence in learning, enhancing both cognitive and affective outcomes. Additionally, leveraging instructors' expertise, ILT aligns with Vygotsky's emphasis on social interaction for cognitive development, demonstrating its efficacy in catering to diverse learner needs and maintaining its relevance in educational strategies.
