Abstract:

The report summarizes a survey of selected military, industrial, government, and academic learning centers. Documentation of 28 learning center programs is recorded and illustrated. This documentation includes primary characteristics and a description of operational procedures and experience at the learning centers. Learning centers deemed effective were 1 designed to meet a clearly defined and existing instructional need and typically included student performance requirements, 2 administered under a unified control of courseware content and production quality, and 3 largely developed and produced their own courseware to meet their specific needs. In general, student time savings and increased training effectiveness were reported. Learning centers can provide cost-effective instruction. Author
