The primary goal of the Learning Technology in Applied Settings area is to conduct real-world tests of learning systems and learning science techniques using in vivo experimentation (controlled randomized classroom studies). The end goal is to provide effective methods for learning that can stand up to the stress of real world environments such as classrooms or e-learning course based environments. As in the cognitive studies of learning systems area, researchers in this area are experts at conducting randomized controlled experiments to determine the effectiveness of learning technology systems but have experience implementing these systems outside the laboratory.
