Web-Based Training Enablers
V-NET Background
20 Oct 09: CG, TRADOC, “Go Virtual” (i.e., save money, time, deployed days of MTT’s etc. for NET). “Show me the possible; let me draw my own conclusions.”
16 Dec 09: CG, TRADOC defined success as when Soldiers use a virtual-TOC vice going to an actual TOC to train
Implied mission is to virtualize where possible both individual tasks (NET) and collective/leader tasks (DTT)
Solution: Creation of a Persistent Learning Environment/Capability (PLC):-Web-enabled (usable on DoD networks)-24/7 & supporting mLearning-Low overhead & rapid development/delivery
V-NET Background
Persistent Learning CapabilityDefined
Facilitates mentoring via social networking building virtual trust
Goes beyond episodic training and education
Emulates Battle Command systems on a hand-held device•Individual and collective sustainment training•Simulates embedded NET
Evolution of Doctrine and Tactics•Application of current doctrine and tactics in dynamic scenarios results in new COAs and novel solutions beyond conventional thought •Results codified in Knowledge Management
Follows guided experiential learning model•Uses structured, non-linear design•Adapts to learner experience
Empowers the Edge while retaining the chain of command

PLE Metrics
Higher quality learning measured in terms of fidelity and ease of use, increased number of students measured in terms of throughput, lower cost, higher competency as compared to conventional brick/mortar
Train the same number of Soldiers for less cost
Train more Soldiers for the same cost
Train more Soldiers to a greater competency
EXAMPLES: Number of Complex Training Events divided by the Total Number of Training Events; Number of Training Events divided by Time
USE CASE: Soldiers complete virtual exercises in a PLE prior to pre-deployment training at a simulations center and arrive walking and ready to run
Cost = time, dollars, personnel, brick/mortar
ROI
Soldiers’ Time
Instructors’ Time
Equipment Savings
Dollar Savings
