The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative’s Chief Architect, Philip V.W. Dodds, passed away on October 6, 2007. Details of his career can be found here.

WelcomeThis community site evolved from the Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative to support advanced distributed learning and to gain feedback from implementers. The intention is to bring together both resources (papers, examples, tutorials, etc.) and people with similar interests and to establish a vibrant community where all work together to share and improve learning.
We hope that you will participate in the discussion forums and share your experiences, suggestions, examples and best practices. You can view most resources as a guest, but you will need to register so that you can participate in the discussions.

Specially, ADL -ilities Scores provide indices to measure how SCORM conformant courses actually exemplify the ADL Spirit.
