Handling and packaging needs for batteries are different. Batteries need to be handled and packed to prevent short-circuits and minimize transportation costs. Again, a commercial company can provide appropriate packaging materials and instructions designed to minimize handling requirements and costs and eliminate possible liabilities associated with mispackaged materials.

According to Clark, only the second expectation was fulfilled, implying that studies of media attributes may contribute to instructional design but not to theory development.

A point to be highlighted is that students will develop schemas about the subject matter whether instruction takes a schema-based approach or not. Learners will search for structure and relationships. Thus, the questions to be asked about schema-based instruction do not center on whether or not students create schemas. They do. The questions focus instead on the nature of the schemas that are developed. We ask whether the instruction itself can promote more cohesive and better structured schemas than would instruction having another foundation. It is here that the basis set of schemas becomes important, because these lay the groundwork for the instructional design. 

Other instructional issues. At many points in instructional design, one must make decisions first and confirm them experimentally a posteriori. We made two (at least) such decisions our choice to rely heavily on visual representations and our choice to incorporate both example and abstract description equally in the initial instruction. Both of these issues have been the focus of rigorous experimental study with SPS, and the outcomes of the research are presented in chapters 7 and 9.

Instructional designers must consider not only how to achieve more rapid, high-quality training, but also how well the skills taught during training will endure after acquisition. Further, what has been learned must be able to be successfully transferred or applied to a wide variety of tasks and job-specific settings. Swezey and Llaneras (1997) have recently reviewed this area.
