Horizons in Learning Innovation through Technology: Prospects for Air Force Education Benefits

Abstract

The United States Air Force is facing future learning environments requiring the need for educating Airmen with the capacity to learn faster and adapt more quickly to changing demands of war fighting where knowledge, critical-thinking skills, and performance are required in unforgiving circumstances. Learning innovations are needed to effectively blend learning environments across informal self-development efforts, formal schoolhouse programs, and operational experience. Future learning must not be limited to place but be readily accessible at the point of need. The learning innovations through technology described in this paper were identified on the basis of this sight picture.
