Abstract	The dynamic and high-stakes nature of education and training requires reliance on evidence-based practices and policies to make decisions about technology adoption and implementation. In the report, "Science of Learning and Readiness (SoLaR) Recommendation Report: Science of Learning Practices for Distributed Online Environments" (ED612458) provided 16 recommendations for supporting distributed learning along with a learning science evaluation checklist. While that report provided all the tools needed for expert evaluation of learning organizations and courses, it did not provide a practical example of how the checklist can be used. It also did not provide evidence of the type of data that can be obtained in the form of real use cases. This current report provides this evidence by successfully evaluating two DoD training and educational organizations using the proposed Learning Science Checklist. It also provides a summary of how the checklist was implemented and the results of the use case evaluations. This work was conducted to support the greater impact of the learning sciences on readiness. This evaluation provided a concrete operationalization of the review process needed to assess the previous recommendations. The two use case evaluations covered in this report are a test of the recommendation's ability to provide successful application within existing DoD-relevant training and educational organizations. This use case report serves as an example of how the Learning Science Evaluation Checklist could be applied to provide useful and actionable recommendations for improving these recommendations.
