scope:
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 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 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 that operate within and environment that satisfies the standard 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 characteristics 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 process 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-HDBK-29612-2, -3 and -4.
intended Use:
This handbook is intended 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.
