Learning Management Systems: Practical Considerations for the Selection and Implementation of an E-learning Platform for the Navy

Abstract

A key element of the Navy's Manpower Personnel Training and Education (MPT&E) mission is to recruit, develop, manage and deploy a workforce in an agile cost-effective manner. In order to accomplish its mission MPT&E strives to provide the right sailor with the right skill sets in the right job at the right time and to manage his/her career path in support of warfighting capabilities. To support this objective some form of automated learning management system or virtual learning environment is needed. A learning management system (or LMS) is a software application that enables the delivery and management of online content to learners.
