Working Group Factsheet
Description

The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL)/ Technical Standards Working Group’s mission defined in the Strategic Vision for Further Development of the PfP Consortium is to leverage education technologies as a tool to support and promote a collaborative network of defense academies and to facilitate defense education interoperability.

ADL

In terms of goals, the ADL/ Technical Standards Working Group seeks to ensure that all interested PfPC countries and institutions know and understand the benefits of using ADL as an alternative/ supplementary approach to education and training; that they have access to free content that focuses on defense and security policy education; that they have access to free open source tools to support content production and distribution; and that they have the opportunity to collaborate in the fields of content production and tool development primarily with a view to lower the individual investments they have to make.

Finally, the efforts of the ADL/ Technical Standards Working Group are specifically focused on “ADL capability building” in countries and organizations that are new to this area. Providing the required infrastructure and expertise is a prerequisite to spreading e-learning and mobile learning content that specifically supports the PfP Consortium’s interests.
