Joint ADL Co-Lab Prototypes DoD Training Transformation Technologies 5 September 2003
Purpose R&D PROGRAM • Investigate issues and challenges to assist the services in implementing ADL solutions • Right Training, Right Time, Right Way • Add to the “bag of tools” ADL designers and developers need • Concrete examples • Lessons Learned • Emerging techniques and technologies
Changes from the Past • Bigger investment – more directed prototypes • ADL exemplars • Data to support decision making • Greater experience and knowledge of ADL techniques & technologies • Emphasis on ADL R&D
Emphasizing the “A” and the “L” in ADL Melding technology and learning together Exploring effective techniques, methodologies, and technologies. Content and applications that: Improve performance Support reuse & interoperability Are: instructionally sound, interactive, engaging, & motivating Focus on Quality
Focus on Relevance Enhanced Learning Experiences - Pushes the current state of Web-based instruction *Increased interactivity *Learner motivation *Immersion *Team Training *Simulations *Embedded Training *Intelligent Tutors *Mission Rehearsal Accessibility to Effective Content - Addresses issues & challenges concerning delivery of remote training through innovative uses of technologies and appropriate media types Job Performance Aiding – Addresses refresher and sustainment training issues *Reach-back capability *Job performance tools Pre-Deployment Training - Addresses enroute preparation of the Warfighter for service and joint operational missions Collaborative Development Tools - Addresses issues surrounding the collaborative nature of on-line learning development
Prototype ADL Contribution 1st Responder Awareness Training U.S. Pacific Command Use branching vignettes incorporating realistic “context” cues; integrate directed, structured, & exploratory learning modes within same LMS interface Joint Battle Damage Assessment Joint Forces Command Provide input on the success of moving content across LMSs; incorporate visual and tactile feedback
Prototype ADL Contribution Enhanced FBCB2 Training Modules U.S. Army Armor Center & Fort Knox Use cognitive and adult learning principles; incorporate scenario-based exercises for hands-on practice of FBCB2 skills Simulate crisis environment using commercial game technology for team performance-based on-line instruction; develop middleware to allow integration of commercial game engines Civil Support Team Training National Guard Bureau
Introduction to the Civil Support Team Trainer (CSTT) “WE WILL NEED TO WORK AS A TEAM HERE. THE ACTIONS FROM ONE PERSON CAN EFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE ENTIRE SAMPLING OPERATION. YOU CAN STAY HERE AND PRACTICE THE PROCEDURE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE…..” “IN ORDER TO ENSURE SAMPLES ARE ACCURATE AND VIABLE, EVERY EFFORT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT SAMPLES ARE NOT CROSS CONTAMINATED.” “ON THE SAMPLING MISSION, THE ENTRY TEAM WILL EXTRACT THREE SAMPLES WITH THE AIM OF DETECTING AND IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE AND NATURE OF THE HAZARD.” “SAMPLING IS THE PHYSICAL PROCESS OF EXTRACTING PHYSICAL MATTER FROM THE INCIDENT SITE SO THAT IT MAY BE ANALYZED AND TESTED TO DETERMINE ITS COMPOSITION.” “SAMPLING IS A KEY STEP IN THE DETERMINATION OF THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SUSPECTED OF CONTAINING CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL AGENTS.”
Prototype ADL Contribution Online Mentors for Language and Culture Training Naval Post Graduate School Develop humanoid avatars and branching vignettes; document lessons learned on metatagging simulation objects Deployable Virtual Training Environment Simulation Training & Education Command, USMC Demonstrate automated monitoring & feedback on trainee procedural skills; provide input for linking assessment strategies and simulations
Prototype ADL Contribution ADL Repository Services U.S. Army Training Support Center Build a service to manage access to and version control of auxiliary resources; use SCORM 1.3 Simple Sequencing Specification ILE Navy Repository Marines API MarineNet Air Force Joint / DOD orgs API Repository Army NG GuardNet ATIA Landing Signal Enlisted Training NAVAIR Orlando Incorporate scenario-based training, video vignettes, animations, and virtual simulations; provide shipboard instructional aid to prepare LSEs for PQS
