From the Program Manager

I reflected this time last year that we would expect more emphasis on distributed learning in general,

and JKO in particular, because of resource constraints across the DOD. In fact, we realized this over

the past year in ways that exceeded my expectation. We have established a ¡°new norm¡± for JKO

trainee throughput and training delivery statistics. For the month of July 2014, JKO reported a record

high of 188,685 course completions, compared to the previous high of 121,481 for March 2014. The

record high for 2013 was 118,978 for October. In 2013 JKO reported average completion rates of

86,000 course completions per month and we now revise that upward for 2014 to the ¡°new norm¡± of

averaging 150,000 course completions per month. As we enter FY15, we are trending toward ~2M

registered users accessing JKO and are experiencing upwards of 40,000 logins per day. The

significant increase in use is driven in large part by new organizations coming to JKO for a costeffective training delivery solution easily adapted to their training needs, and more agencies using JKO

for their common military training requirements. We have also made considerable progress in

supporting collective exercises as part of the Blended Learning Training System, tailoring JKO

courseware, reporting proficiency metrics for exercise Academics, and delivering small group desktop

exercises tailored to CCDR exercise objectives. I am confident that past, recent and continuing ability

to respond to new customers and training innovations, lends credence to the JKO design as a flexible,

scalable architecture readily adaptive to emerging requirements.

About JKO

JKO is the DOD unique and

authoritative distributed

learning capability delivering

global, 24/7 access to Webbased, immersive, interactive

training and joint learning

resources. The JKO Portal

provides access to wide-ranging

learning resources including

Joint Professional Development

Seminars, video library,

communities of interest,

training courses and specialized

curriculums. JKO training

resources are available via

military unclassified NIPRNET,

and classified SIPRNET.

Direction for JKO access is found

at for NIPRNet

and for

SIPRNet. JKO Portals provide

access to the JKO Learning

Content Management System

(LCMS) that administers hosting,

distribution, enrollment,

completion and tracking of Webbased training. The LCMS

integrates with the Army

Training Requirements and

Resources System for Servicewide joint training recording and

reporting.

Blended Learning Training System Leveraging Distributed Learning Capability

Significant advances are being

made to leverage distributed

learning capability and use of

blended learning to increase

access and efficiencies in joint

training. Distributed and

blended learning are lower cost

training alternatives gathering

momentum in individual, staff

and collective exercise joint

training as critical enablers to

meet training objectives and

learning effectiveness in the

current environment of

constrained resources.

The Joint Staff J-7 DDJT

introduced the Continuum of

eLearning (CoL) concept in

2011 applying science of

learning disciplines to enhance

and leverage existing

capabilities available on JKO to

target cost and performance

efficiencies for training

exercises. Controlled studies

were conducted 2011 to 2014

in a variety of training exercises

and events to assess

acceptance and effectiveness

to enhance joint training with

lower cost training modes. Over

the course of the three years

the concept evolved as the

Blended Learning Training

System (BLTS) blending online

learning, metrics and

assessments, in-resident

academics, table top exercises,

and distributed small group

simulation-based training.

Today, study results indicate that

participants generally benefitted

from pre-exercise online courses

and SGST team training, and

demonstrate the BLTS as a fully

operational capability to support

events across the joint training

enterprise.

The BLTS framework includes

online, self-paced courses with

embedded metrics and metricreporting that supports inresident academics, distributed

small group simulation exercises

to support team-related training,

blended live training,

instructional design processes

and schedule processes. Based

on this framework Blended

Learning Training Packages

(BLTP) are tailored to specific

exercise objectives and

integrated into the schedule of

live training events. A BLTP

leverages existing JKO

courseware or may entail new

development, depending on

training topics and specific

objectives. JKO BLTP courses

begin with a pre-test that enables

a customized program of

instruction based on the

learner¡¯s baseline knowledge,

maximizing the individuals¡¯ time.

A post-test is also required, with

opportunity to retake as many

times as necessary, to assure

content mastery. Pre-requisite

online courses are scheduled to

be completed prior to classroom

academics. Proficiency metrics

from the online courses are

captured, analyzed and

aggregated for the training

audience and metrics reports are

given to the Observer Trainers

and training managers to assist

them in training to knowledge

gaps.

¡°In FY 2015 and beyond we

need to implement a new

model that accounts for fiscal

realities, provides scalable

options and prioritizes exercise

support in line with the

Department¡¯s priorities. Our

focus must be on the

consideration of cheaper

training modes and the use of

distributed joint training

enablers to achieve multiple

cross-CCMD joint training

objectives.¡±

A BLTP uses prescribed scenario

simulations for staff or small

team training using the JKOhosted SGST. With SGST

participants use desktop

computers, such as they would to

perform normal staff operations,

to form as a team in reacting to

realistic interfaces and simulated

injects introducing new

information as the simulation

unfolds. This offers combatant

command staffs opportunity to

learn basic concepts of joint

operations (i.e. planning,

coordination, and battle rhythm)

and to practice those concepts

as a team.

Support for Collective Training Exercises and Events

JKO collaborates with the J7

Joint Exercise Division and

Deployable Training Division on

the development of Web-based

training courses and scenarios

in support of exercise program

events. Tailored individual

training courses and SGST staff

exercise scenarios comprise the

BLTP and support the overall

effort of the CoL.

JKO also works with the

Observer Trainers on the

development and maintenance

of the Joint Force Command

(JFC) Curriculum. The JFC

curriculum is designed to

enhance the joint learning

continuum with a series of 100

and 200 level courses, all with

embedded features that set the

conditions for higher-level

learning. The curriculum is

intended for military and civilian

personnel who will be assigned

or attached to any joint

organization such as a

combatant command staff or

Joint Task Force (JTF) staff. It is

designed to deliver individual

training on the fundamentals of

joint military organizations and

functions, and to provide a

foundation of joint knowledge

based on joint doctrine. The 100

level course content is

developed specifically to deliver

foundational knowledge with

eight core modules that deliver

procedural and basic knowledge

across the joint disciplines, like

planning, logistics and Intel. The

200 level courses provide more

contextual insights and best

practices gathered from years of

observing collective training

events. JFC level 200 courses

are developed from Observer

Trainers¡¯ "Best Practices and

Insights" papers. All JFC 100

and 200 level courses meet full

CoL and BLTP standards. JKO

Selection of JFC 100/200

modules for pre-requisite

exercise training is typically

foundational in Initial planning

and development of the 300

level modules is also underway.

These modules emphasize case

studies drawn from the Joint

Center of Operational Analysis ¨C

Lessons Learned.
