The ASU ADL Partnership Lab’s primary focus is task-oriented exploratory learning environments.
This includes learning that takes place in simulated environments, context-aware performance support, and just-in-time learning to support on-the-job performance of individuals and teams. The lab is looking to a future that moves beyond the traditional training “course.” It is looking towards a new paradigm for learning that is lifelong and integrates with everything we do.
The ADL Initiative began as a DoW-wide program in the 1990s and continues to have defense personnel as core constituents. Today’s stakeholders are from a wider background that includes government, industry and academia.
The mission of this US government program is to promote best practices for distributed learning that is of highest-quality training, informal learning, and just-in-time support for individual needs that are cost-effective for anytime anywhere learning.
