Lessons Learned or Lessons Not Yet Learned (But Often Revisited) about the Design, Application, and Management of Learning Technologies

Abstract

This report is based on data provided and discussed at our past four workshops, discussions and presentations made at the RSG 16 meetings, and papers provided at our final workshop. A collection of these papers is attached as Appendix A to this report. We, the members of RSG 16 appreciate the opportunities that Panel 8 and the Defense Research Group has given them to improve our collective state of knowledge concerning military training. In recognition of the fact that training is almost our sole peacetime endeavor and is directly responsible for military readiness, we look forward to being able to work with the DRG and Panel 8 again. The current and projected advances in technologies that are and will be made available as tools to permit more efficient and effective training will skyrocket in the next decade. These changes will quickly make the results of our past workshops historical data points awaiting revision and documentation.
