Applied Research Laboratory: Research & Applications in Training / Education
A very organized and scholarly Website from Penn State that outlines Web-based training, instructional design, peformance technology, and other areas of research on technology-based instruction and training. It is a part of the Applied Research Laboratory. ARL's vision for education and training research and application reflects the fundamental objectives to enhance the workforce's professionalism and productivity. It measures professionalism and productivity in terms of job and learning performance while acknowledging that traditional educational and training opportunities no longer effectively support the need to train a diverse, evolving, and geographically separated workforce.
