Smith has been researching human performance at Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ for more than 13 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am thrilled to be leading this effort, which builds on a strong foundation of understanding how to truly engage learners in their journey, with learner-focused curriculum, dynamic interactive learning experiences with appropriate technology, and analytics,\u201d she said. \u201cWe intend to develop a system that will not only impart knowledge, but the understanding of how to apply that knowledge in any circumstance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bockelman, who specializes in intelligent behaviors within technical environments, praised the academic-corporate collaboration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project is an incredible example of how academic and industry collaborations promote innovation. We\u2019ll be helping one of the world\u2019s most influential companies improve human performance, which will allow Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ students to be on the cutting edge of globally distributed learning systems,\u201d she said. \u201dBy the nature of the scope and complexity of the project, we\u2019ll be able to offer students a range of applied research experiences in a number of transdisciplinary contexts.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ Applied Research Institute was established to assist in securing large collaborative research projects and enhance the university\u2019s interdisciplinary work and growing partnerships.
