A survey of 28 military industrial, government, and academic learning centers was conducted. The purposes were to document the state of the art in the establishment and operation of these centers and to determine their potential usefulness in terms of being able to provide individualized, cost-effective instruction in Air Force training programs. The survey identified each center's goals, instructional techniques, and learning resources; attention was also paid to instructional development procedures, courseware production and maintenance philosophy. Student time savings, increased learning and cost-effectiveness were generally reported, although specific cost data were hard to retrieve. The learning centers deemed most effective were those which: 1) were designed to meet clearly defined, existing instructional needs; 2) specified student performance requirements; 3) were administered under a unified system which controlled the quality of courseware content and production; and 4) developed and produced their own courseware to meet specific needs.
