Objectives

Main objectives

1. To use secure, commercial, off-the-shelf, Web-based information dissemination services and learning management system services to maximize infrastructure robustness, minimize development time, and increase curriculum sustainability.
2. To accelerate the integration of off-the-shelf, state-of-the-art Web-based collaborative applications and simulation technologies to augment the pedagogical value of our proposed courses and tabletop exercises.
3. To develop a distance-learning curriculum that support self-directed, self-paced, exploratory learning through interactive simulations and support social learning through technologies ranging from threaded-discussion to Webconferencing.
4. To augment face-to-face courses with interactive-learning content.
5. To monitor student progress through the capture of data from quizzes and student interactions with simulated devices and in simulated environments.
