The Learning Systems Architecture Lab (LSAL) conducts research focused on the design and creation of Internet-based technologies for education and training. We engage in system design and content creation, with emphasis on emerging technologies and standards for e-learning for all users (K-16, training, life-long)
The LSAL is part of Carnegie Mellon University. Our overall research program focuses on the design and creation of Internet-based technologies for education and training.
The objective of the projects and activities LSAL engages in is to utilize and extend these system architectures to further enhance the accessibility, interoperability, durability, reusability, and cost-effectiveness of learning systems. The software we develop aims to put the needs of the user/learner first, whether the user is a student in public school (K-12), college, the military or a learner in any other situation.Learning Systems Architecture Lab Web Site |

LSAL is trying to create Flexible, Reusable Content and Enabling Diverse Learning Architectures.
LSAL objectives are summarized next: - Support a wide variety of learning approaches
- Conventional CBT, instructor-led, self-directed, case-based, scenario-based, adaptive, performance support, constructivist, intelligent tutoring, simulation, collaborative learning, ...
- Work with a wide range of content types and (preexisting) content (learning objects and resources)
- Operate across a range of Internet and client technologies
- Satisfy diverse learning requirements
- What you can get: because it's there (authored)
- When you need it: fit to current schedule
- Where you need it: fit to current environment (place, device, connectivity)
- What you need: fit to current context
- What you know: fit to current knowledge
- Design and development of ADL-compliant systems
- Guidance on implementing technologies to conform to emerging specifications and standards
|
| To achieve those goals and objectives, LSAL is developing and engaged in several projects that can be accesed in Projects and Activities |

The era of monolithic Learning Technology Systems is over. Rather than building large, closed systems, the current focus is on flexible architectures that provide interoperability of components and learning content, and that rely on open standards for information exchange and component integration. The Learning Systems Architecture Lab has developed the concept of a Learning Services Architecture and the Learning Services Stack as a framework for developing the next generation of learning technology systems. We're in the process of developing learning services using Web services and Web services technologies.

Web Services Descriptions
As a part of the work in the Web Services field, LSAL has developed a set of services' descriptions that are grouped into three different categories:
- Tool Services
- Common Services
- Basic Services
