Distributed Training for the Reserve Component: Course Conversion and Implementation Guidelines for Computer Conferencing
Abstract
This handbook uses asynchronous computer conferencing techniques to provide background courses and guidelines for designers and developers of Reserve Component training. The recommendations in this handbook are based on (1) an international review of the literature in distance learning, and (2) experience gained from developing and conducting Reserve Component training. The handbook is based on a model of remotely conducted, distributed training called A System for Managing Asynchronous Remote Training (SMART). The cornerstones of the model are that training is asynchronous in time, computer-mediated, and distributed to soldiers' homes. The guidelines are intended to supplement the Systems Approach to Training process, emphasizing the steps course designers must expand to accommodate conferencing for distributed training. Specific guidelines are given for the analysis, design, and development phases; examples and blank worksheets are also included. Keywords: National Guard, Army Reserve.
