Instructor-led training

"Instructor-led training" is nothing but jargon for "Teaching" WQUlrich (talk) 23:35, 25 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - it is certainly a form of teaching, but the term "instructor led training" or "ILT" is well-used, especially in the IT sector, and is considered different to normal classroom teaching. This issue of CIO magazine goes into some detail. This publication treats the two as one in the same. This book goes into more detail. Companies like Symantec (here) and Adobe Systems (here) use the term as part of their training programs (which is what I mean when I say it is more common in the IT industry). I suppose I wouldn't strongly oppose a redirect to Education (where Teaching already redirects), but I do think there are probably enough differences (and enough sources that provide details of the differences) to warrant a stand-alone article.

 * Keep Education and training is a big field and so it is to be expected that we will have a variety of topics and terms. A one-size-fits-all approach does not seem sensible. Warden (talk) 08:35, 26 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - I'm not familiar with education, and eduction terms, but am familiar with the term "instructor-led training" from IT.  It is used to distinguish course with a human being doing the teaching versus computer-based training.  A search on Google scholar would indicate that this is a topic of interest especially comparing the two types of training.  Examples:, . -- Whpq (talk) 13:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG. Merely searching Google Scholar for "instructor-led training" provides numerous articles showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The article is merely a neglected stub (currently unmarked) ant needs some attention. -    t  u coxn \ talk 21:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
