JKO Mobile - Background • JKO Mobile is an outcome of the FY11-FY12 Coalition Warfare Program (OSD AT&L) project for a “Mobile Learning Environment” • Collaborative effort between ADL, JKO, and ADL Partnership Labs (UK/CAN/POL) • Consists of an outsourced “back end” m-Learning suite and ADL/JKO hybrid mobile app • Lays groundwork for mobile initiatives such as Virtual Worlds Framework (VWF), ADL Experience API (xAPI), etc.
JKO Mobile - Approach • JKO Mobile is a hybrid application (App) available for download from Apple and Android App stores (search for JKO). • Compatible with the iOS 5 and Android 2.3 Operating Systems (OS). • Older operating systems should work; however, there may be limitations due to the mobile device as opposed to the OS. • The App is free to download and use. • With JKO Mobile you can: • Download and complete training courses on mobile device. • Get the latest JKO news. • Download unclassified job aids.

Additional Features • M-Learning Suite supports Roles Based Access Controls (RBAC) – training staff and students only see what they are authorized to see. RBAC is fully configurable. • At the present time, there are six roles: • Public (does not require PIN login) • Public role does not record any info such as completions • DoD • UK Partnership Lab (Defence Centre of Training Support) • Canadian Partnership Lab (Canadian Defence Academy) • Polish Partnership Lab (Polish National Defence University) • Developers (allows development and review on the production server) • At the present time, the Partnership Labs do not have connectivity with their LMS’ – correlation of students with PINs is done by looking at the m-Learning Suite dashboard and manually correlating PINs to students via spreadsheet. • Training staffs can share content among each role as required
