ASTD Archive Image of the Day: Classroom Comforts, Circa 1988

This image appeared in an ad in the September 1988 issue of Training & Development Journal. It portrays the old classroom where training would take place. Fast forward to today--think of all the amenities that are part of the new classroom, such as food and snacks that stimulate the brain to learn, video equipment, wi-fi and electrical outlets to plug in laptops and tablets, and more comfortable seating. Today, it's all about comfort and creating the most conducive environment for learning.

What is missing from today's classrooms? What will the classroom of the future look like?
