Distributed Learning Advanced Technology Development (ADL)

Abstract

The Department of Defense Human Resources Activity (DHRA) is a DoD-wide Field Activity chartered to support the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (USD (P&R)). Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL): This program develops the technologies to make learning and performance support available to service members, anytime, anywhere. The ADL concept enables the ability to migrate online learning content to multiple hardware and software applications using the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) standard. It has become the de facto standard and is moving through international bodies for global accreditation; its use is mandatory throughout the Department of Defense through (DoD Instruction 1322.26). The program continues to develop US and international partnerships with public education, vocational training, and life-long learning programs. Policy oversight is managed by the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense/Readiness (Readiness and Training Policy and Programs). Recent work has established a single registry where all online learning content developed by the Department can be discovered for reuse. A fourth edition of SCORM was released in May 2009. In FY2010, guidelines for integrating technical manuals to SCORM will be published and a strategic plan will be in place to incorporate advances from social networking and other “Web 2.0” technologies into the ADL framework.
