origins
The United States Department of Defense (DoD)
established the Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative in 1997
to develop a strategy for using learning and information technologies
to modernize education and training and to promote cooperation
between government, industry and academia to develop
e-learning standardization.
The United States military serves the educational
needs of 2.5 million military personnel, DoD civilians, and their
dependents.
With an annual expenditure of over $17 billion
to provide military training and professional military education,
improvements and efficiencies have substantial bottom line implications.
