Abstract:

We reviewed the Department of Defenses (DOD) distance learning initiatives because of their importance in making training readily available to ah military personnel regardless of location. Distance learning is structured training that can take place almost anywhere and anytime without the physical presence of an instructor because of the technological advances that facilitate the instruction. Specifically, we (1) analyzed the status of the services efforts to integrate distance learning into their training plans and strategies, (2) identified funding issues related to distance learning, and (3) reviewed the Office of the Secretary of Defenses (OSD) efforts to promote interservice efficiencies for distance learning. This letter contains questions to you regarding the direction of DODs distance learning efforts.
