A Survey of the Present State-of-the-Art In Learning Center Operations.
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)
