JKDDC Stakeholders Conference 30 March 2010 Web-Based Training Enablers
V-NET Background V-NET Background • 20 Oct 09: CG, TRADOC, “Go Virtual” (i.e., save money, time, deployed days of MTT’s etc. for NET). “Show me the possible; let me draw my own conclusions.” • 16 Dec 09: CG, TRADOC defined success as when Soldiers use a virtual-TOC vice going to an actual TOC to train • Implied mission is to virtualize where possible both individual tasks (NET) and collective/leader tasks (DTT) • Solution: Creation of a Persistent Learning Environment/Capability (PLC): • -Web-enabled (usable on DoD networks) • -24/7 & supporting mLearning • -Low overhead & rapid development/delivery
Persistent Learning Capability Defined Persistent Learning Capability Defined • Facilitates mentoring via social networking building virtual trust • Goes beyond episodic training and education • Emulates Battle Command systems on a hand-held device • Individual and collective sustainment training • Simulates embedded NET • Evolution of Doctrine and Tactics • Application of current doctrine and tactics in dynamic scenarios results in new COAs and novel solutions beyond conventional thought • Results codified in Knowledge Management • Follows guided experiential learning model • Uses structured, non-linear design • Adapts to learner experience • Empowers the Edge while retaining the chain of command NET/DTT/Leader Training & Education
PLE Metrics PLE Metrics • Higher quality learning measured in terms of fidelity and ease of use, increased number of students measured in terms of throughput, lower cost, higher competency as compared to conventional brick/mortar • Train the same number of Soldiers for less cost • Train more Soldiers for the same cost • Train more Soldiers to a greater competency • EXAMPLES: Number of Complex Training Events divided by the Total Number of Training Events; Number of Training Events divided by Time • USE CASE: Soldiers complete virtual exercises in a PLE prior to pre-deployment training at a simulations center and arrive walking and ready to run • Cost = time, dollars, personnel, brick/mortar ROI Soldiers’ Time Instructors’ Time Equipment Savings Dollar Savings
