The Instructional and Developmental Communication Division is concerned with two broad areas:
       
       (a) communication related to any learning or instructional process and 
       (b) communication related to developmental processes across the life span. 
Division members share a variety of research interests, including, but not restricted to, teacher–student interaction, 
teaching styles, instructional technology, the impact of mass media on children's development, the development of 
communication skills across the life span, and communication between generations across the life span.
