Media-based training basically utilises some of these media to enhance the learning process, address different learning styles
and to broaden the range of learning resources and often making them more accessible, especially those that are based digitally via online learning
The use of media only enhances learning when the media matches the learning content. Media for the
sake of media will not achieve the desired learning effect. There must be a clear link between the
learning method employed and the media Electronic media can be distinguished between analogue and digitally based media.
Analogue media is by now means dated if appropriate in the learning context. It can be cheap and easy to utilise.
