Abstract	Media is an integral part of educational technology and has advanced over the years; however, the media and learning debate persists. In his paper "Reconsidering Research on Learning From Media," Clark (1983) stated, "the best current evidence is that media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence student achievement any more than the truck that delivers our groceries causes changes in our nutrition" (p. 445). Not all scholars agree with this statement, but many accept Clark's assertion that media does not influence learning (Artino & Durning, 2012). It is necessary to understand the role of institutional methodology combined with other factors because learning occurs when information is presented, not the medium in which it is delivered. Comparing Clark's ideas of learning to other contemporary educators highlights the debate between media and learning and its relation to physical therapy education. This white paper is directed at health care professionals and educators. It is specifically targeted to physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, and nurses by addressing the two main stances of the media and learning debate and its contribution to the role of educational technology. It also aims to familiarize health care professionals with the key factors and instructional methods that positively influence learning and transfer of knowledge. (ERIC).
