AIT was created more than four decades ago to provide leadership and development services for instructional television. AIT is a leader in instructional technology, primarily visual technology, and possesses broad experience in the application of visual communications and transmission technologies for K12 education and teacher professional development. AIT actively distributes educational media to schools, libraries, and educational broadcasters. Working in partnership with independent producers, school districts, media centers, and public broadcasters, AIT guides the development of curriculum materials and promotes appropriate applications of video-based technology in the classroom.
