The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative is a structured, adaptive, collaborative effort between the public and private sectors to develop the standards, tools, learning objects, and delivery mechanisms for
40、 the future-learning environment. The ADL Initiative supports the development of a system capable of delivering instruction to users anytime, anywhere. The Department of Defense (DoD) has outlined a strategy for implementing a DoD-wide Distributed Learning (DL) system. Its goal is to transition from
41、 the current “in-residence“ focused education and training environment to a global DL system designed to deliver training, education, and information “on-demand“ as a continuum to support DoD operational readiness. This handbook provides information for the acquisition and development of DL products
42、 that operate within an environment that satisfies the standards and goals of the ADL Initiative. Electronic communication products that support the ADL Initiative include Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) and products developed to use and deliver instructional content, having the characteris
43、tics of being accessible from any location, remote or local, utilizing a DL environment. The selection and acquisition of products for use in a DL environment merge well within the Instructional Systems Development/Systems Approach to Training (ISD/SAT) model, see MIL-HDBK-29612-2. The ISD/SAT proce
44、ss phases include: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. DL products are now another training media consideration for the acquisition manager of instructional systems. This handbook supplements general acquisition guidance provided in MIL-HDBK-29612-1 and interfaces with MIL
45、-HDBK-29612-2, -3 and -4. 1.2 Application guidance. This handbook is intended for guidance only. This handbook cannot be cited as a requirement. If it is, the contractor does not have to comply. 1.2.1 How to use this handbook. The guidance provided in this handbook applies to the acquisition of trai
46、ning products for the delivery of instruction using advanced communications technologies (e.g., software, computers, simulations, networks, etc.). This handbook is to be used in conjunction with MIL-PRF-29612, MIL-HDBK-29612-1, -2, -3, and -4 to aid in the acquisition of ADL products. MIL-PRF-29612
47、provides verification criteria for products to be used in an ADL environment. MIL-HDBK-29612-1 contains guidance for the preparation of solicitations and evaluation of solicitation responses for training. MIL-HDBK-29612-2 provides guidance for the selection of instructional media. MIL-HDBK-29612-3 p
48、rovides background information for the planning, design, development, implementation, evaluation, and management of IMI products. MIL-HDBK-29612-4 contains a listing of commonly used training terms, acronyms, and definitions. 1.2.2 Topics addressed in this handbook. This handbook is organized in a m
49、anner that provides the reader with an overview of the products to be acquired to support an ADL system from the broadest scope of a training portal to the smallest product (i.e., existing courseware) and everything in between (e.g., Learning Management Systems (LMS), Course Management Systems (CMS), courseware development/authoring tools, infrastructure requirements, Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking
