With so many different content delivery methods and available instructional technologies, developing the ideal environmental learning profile of IT skills, training tasks and online asynchronous learning (OAL) multimedia technologies is critical. By understanding the most effective OAL multimedia technologies to apply and in what context, the alignment will help organizations improve learning outcomes. The task/technology fit theory is replicated in the context of an OAL environment to examine multimedia technologies from a social context where end users adopt them to improve learning performance.

Keywords: e-learning, task-technology fit, social presence, behavioral modeling, multi-media technologies
