Title

'The difference between programmed instruction (PI) and programmed learning (PL) is that PI is intended to modify behavior, whereas PL is used for teaching facts and skills'

This statement doesn't make sense. Milktoast 07:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The two terms are synonymous. Originally, people working in military or industrial training used the term 'instruction' whereas people working in general education used the term 'learning'. I prefer 'programmed learning' because the idea was to develop ways which would help the learner, whatever the subject-matter. Over the next few weeks I will be making some changes to the page, and perhaps others will come to agree a change of title is needed. Macdonald-ross (talk) 12:45, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
