Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL)

Abstract

Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) program is helping DoD evolve its distributed learning systems (e.g., online courses, smartphone-based learning, and DoD-wide enterprise systems for training and education). These improvements benefit DoD in several ways: (1) EFFICIENCY: Increase business systems’ efficiency, saving time and resources, by eliminating duplications and developing shared services for digital learning technology and data. (2) EFFECTIVENESS: Improve the quality and efficiency of training/education delivery via online systems by developing modern technologies, integrated data systems, and associated learning science, ultimately impacting personnel readiness. This program was originally established in response to Section 378 of Public Law 105-261, the FY 1999 NDAA. The ADL program directly supports all DoD Components, and as a leader in the field of distributed learning technologies, also coordinates with other Federal agencies, Allies, and Partners. This leads to the program’s third benefit: (3) INTEROPERABILITY: It strengthens interagency, inter-organizational, and multinational interoperability by developing shared distributed learning capabilities and policy and through leadership in DoD, Federal, and Coalition communities of practice.
