Our primary research and development focus are complex learning environments. Specifically, we are interested in how the implimentaiton of computer technology can improve learning. Our activities range from basic research (cognitive psychology of learning and memory) to software development (Intelligent Tutoring Systems).

The ADL-MITSC facilitates the research required to overcome the training challenges faced by the military, government, academia, and the workforce both now and in the future. The best way to attain this goal is though the applied use to of learning technologies (e.g. natural dialogue systems). To this end, ADL-MITSC researchers have extensive experience in research, development, and evaluation of advanced learning environments. Further, ADL-MITSC seeks to establish an inclusive and dynamic research environment by welcoming outside researchers and policy makers with similar goals to join us to help accomplish our mission.
