Infinite Learning Lab was an educational website created by PAWS Inc. with the Virginia Department of Education. The Learning Lab was closed on July 1, 2020, most likely because Adobe Flash was shut down at the end of the year.
It consists of animations on four different topics: mathematics, life skills, English, and science. Viewers can watch the short videos and then provide answers to the related quiz attached to each video.
The series presents an educational approach added to the usual adventures of Garfield and his friends. The animal characters are fully anthropomorphic, while the humans, such as Jon Arbuckle and Liz Wilson, are absent. The general plot of each story consists of Nermal facing everyday dilemmas, with Garfield guiding him on each situation. The U.S. Acres characters also appear in game portions of the videos.
