Abstract
The development of integrated learning systems (ILSs) holds great promise for enhancing the instructional process and for improving student learning. This article describes an application of an ILS that takes into account learning theory research, principles of instructional design, and other factors related to human learning. The application presented utilizes IBM's “Advanced Technology Classroom” to verify the efficacy of integrated learning systems from both a student-user perspective and the perspective of instructors in a university setting.
