Collaborating with Business and Industry

The Workforce Advanced Distributed Learning Co-Laboratory (Workforce ADL Co-Lab), is a collaborative effort between the University of Memphis and the ADL Co-Lab Network. The mission of the Workforce ADL Co-Lab is to support the ADL vision by advancing the development of emerging e-learning technologies to commercial implementations, connecting private businesses in an open, collaborative environment for information sharing, training, research and development.

The Workforce ADL Co-Lab’s activities focus on using ADL Technologies to provide job training and performance support exactly when and where it is needed by matching the right content and knowledge with the competencies and skills needed for specific jobs. It encourages increased training efficiency and lower development costs for computer-based training, intelligent tutor systems and other effective instructional design methods.

The Workforce ADL Co-Lab also seeks to find new markets for e-learning content, tools and systems by:

  • Building awareness among producers and implementers of emerging e-learning standards
  • Providing guidance for the training community on applications of Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM®), S1000D and Content Object
  • Repository Discovery and Registration Architecture (CORDRATM) specifications
  • Partnering with corporations, industry associations and other organizations to develop SCORM®, S1000D and CORDRATM solutions for specific industries
  • Broadening the scope of the ADL Initiative by engaging multinational corporate partners, and by combining resources to increase private sector involvement
