Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) –U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Long history of technology and learning Lack of interoperability – identified in 1997 Large training investment Innovation in technology applications Ability to scale – drive the market

E.O. 13111 - Founded to standardize and modernize training and education delivery for DoD Develop and implement learning technologies across

DoD and the Federal government Collaborate with government, industry, and academia to

promote international specifications and standards for designing and delivering learning content

ADL Vision

ADL’s High-Level Requirements Accessibility Ability to locate and access instructional components from

multiple locations and deliver them to other locations Interoperability Ability to take instructional components developed in one

system and use them in another system Durability Ability to withstand technology changes over time without

costly redesign, reconfiguration, or recoding Reusability Ability to use instructional components in multiple

applications, courses, and contexts

Learning Technology Lab Vendor-neutral Evaluation Environment

Hosted at ADL Co-Lab Hub in Alexandria, VA Expert support to help resolve interoperability concerns Unbiased facilitation for dispute resolution

Hosts a variety of LMS, LCMS, and authoring tools Supports test and evaluation

of content across platforms Showcases exemplar content

and tools Enables rapid trouble-

shooting to quickly identify problem areas

ADL, HPT, ISD CoP Vision:

A collaborative environment of educational theorists, practitioners, and front-line end-users jointly committed to defining the requirements and identifying the best-practices of the evolving, technology-enabled learning landscape.

Mission:In support of the business goals and human performance objectives of the DOD and its strategic partners, to theoretically and practically inform the creation of new application profile(s) which are capable of guiding the next decade (or more) of training, education, and developmental activity which uses technology as an enabler.
