The official Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) website provides a very detailed overview of the organization’s history and purpose. Under the direct care of the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (OUSD P&R), the ADL Initiative was created in 1997 and given the task of standardizing and modernizing the delivery of training and education. On January 12, 1999, Excutive Order 13111 signed by President Clinton tasked the DoD to develop and lead a partnership with business and university groups for the purpose of creating standardized training software and related services.

I liked your information on ADL and standardized learning. I question whether standardized learning and training is the right way to continue in education because not all children/learners learn the same way. Standardized testing has failed child after child and should be outlawed when children can't meet the standard and fail. The standard may not have been set too high; that child may just learn in ways that the standard doesn't focus on.
What do you think?
