The Technology iN Training Laboratory
at Old Dominion University
Primary Investigator: Richard N. Landers, Ph.D.
Welcome to the homepage of the Technology iN Training Laboratory, a lab of industrial/organizational psychologists dedicated to researching technology as it can be used to improve both the study of work and work itself.
Too many technologies are being blindly adopted by organizations and educational institutions with little research to support those decisions. The mission of this lab is to sort the wheat from the chaff - to investigate how knowledge and skill acquisition is affected by the use of new technologies and further, to refine those technologies to improve learning outcomes. We thus operate at the intersection of several fields - industrial/organizational psychology, educational technology, instructional design, and many others.
Our current focus is on the use of technology to improve training and education through the use of social networks, augmented reality, virtual worlds, virtual reality, interactive web-based applications, and any other technology that we can get our hands on.
If you are considering adopting a new technology in your organization and would like us to assist you in evaluating its effectiveness, please don't hesitate to contact us.
