With the prevalence of activity geared toward designing, developing, and delivering Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), understanding the challenges and issues faced by ADL pioneers increases in importance everyday. Others forging into the ADL arena, as well as those who continue to strive to provide web-based training that lives up to the promises of being available anywhere and anytime yet instructionally sound, can benefit from the experiences of those who have worked on ADL efforts. The purpose of the current effort was to gather lessons learned information from Prototype ADL Efforts that were sponsored by the Joint ADL Co-Laboratory in Orlando, FL. This paper provides a brief description of the methodology utilized to obtain this lessons learned information, as well as a sample of lessons learned information that was gathered.
