Distance Learning

Abstract

A study reviewing the existing Army Distance Learning Plan (ADLP) and current Distance Learning practices, with a focus on the Army's training and educational challenges and the benefits of applying Distance Learning techniques. The ASB study panel makes six specific recommendations, the most important of which is Accelerating CourseWare (CW) development. The panel also recommends placing heavier reliance on DL Collaborative which should pay huge dividends. A crucial improvement to the total program is establishing an Army DL Futures Lab. The study concluded accelerated DL CW applications will provide quicker ROI through reduced TDY and per diem costs and reductions in overall DL implementation costs.
