The IA Training Challenge• Statement of the Military Problem - Current training available to
Individual Augmentees (IAs) reporting to international headquarters may not adequately prepare them to rapidly and efficiently integrate.
• Outcome - Evidence that a virtual world training capability can provide a solution
• Objective - To determine the applicability and potential value of a virtual world training program
• Products - A readily available and effective training program for IAs• Activities - A line of experimentation leading to confirmation of the
hypothesis that collaborative virtual world training can better prepare staff officers for integration into an existing multi-national headquarters.
Virtual Environments and Blended Learning• Classroom Based Learning
– Face-to-face instruction, mentoring, role- playing, coaching, and case studies
• Collaborative Learning– Working with peers, e-labs, virtual field trips, team
exercises, group activities, threaded discussions, and wikis
• Interactive Learning, Simulations and Games– Experience and experimentation– Computer based training modules, learning
objects, interactive games, coaching, and simulations
• Performance Support and Reference Materials– Knowledge capture/knowledge management– Web pages, pdf’s, Web lectures, podcasts, videos,
and blogs 4
The Customer’s Needs• Working closely with Allied Command
Transformation Joint Force Trainer (JFT) to match training requirements with new M&S capabilities
• Ideas and imagination…processed into experimentation…fielded for evaluation and if practical….developed into deliverable tools for Education and Training Facilities (ETF’s)
