The Learning and Performance Support Laboratory (LPSL) is an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Georgia. The LPSL was established in 1994 through funding from the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) to advance technology- related research in strategic areas considered vital to the state's future.
The Learning and Performance Support Laboratory (LPSL) has formed a unique team of tenure-line faculty and soft- money research scientists, as well as numerous faculty members whose primary assignment is within an academic department. We also engage in a number of collaborations with external agencies, laboratories, companies, universities, schools, and individuals.
The Learning and Performance Support Laboratory (LPSL) is focused on education-related research and development (R&D)-one of a handful of educational technology research laboratories nationwide. The mission of the LPSL is to engage in research and development in three strategic "impact" areas.
- Emerging learning environments
- Teacher education & school reform
- Assessment & evaluation
Three major themes characterize the mission and spirit
of the LPSL:
- a commitment to theoretically grounded research,
both basic and applied, that contributes to our understanding
of how learning and performance may be enhanced by
technology;
- a commitment to research and development that will
establish a leading-edge capability in the state of
Georgia for technology-enhanced learning, performance
assessment, and information access at all levels of
education, training, and work; and
- a commitment to developing partnerships and research
collaborations with other institutions, businesses,
and agencies in the state, the nation, and internationally.
