The e-Learning Design Lab provides a unique research environment for exploring fundamental issues related to e-learning. Areas of research include: intelligent agents; sharable content object design; interface design; multimedia; interactive video; and e-learning environments. The research focus of the e-Learning Design also involves the research and development of new design principles, methodologies, and tools that contribute to the evolution of e-learning. The e-Learning Design Laboratory is jointly sponsored by the Center for Research on Learning (CRL) and the Information and Telecommunications Technology Center (ITTC).
