Course correction - William Jackson, Government Computer News
Technology can be a great tool, but getting value from it requires a trained workforce. And keeping the training up-to-date with the technology is a constant challenge for a large, technology-dependent organization such as the Air Force. “In the Air Force, we have a formal training system,” said Master Sgt. Todd Thomas, manager at the Air Force’s e-learning program. “Personnel go through different schools at different times in their careers.” ....As the need grew, the Air Force began migrating to an online educational model. What began as an ad hoc program using CDs in the mid-1990s has evolved into a hosted educational system that more than 350,000 people use per month. CDs that contained 10 or 12 courses have been replaced with an Air Force Web portal with 3,500 online courses.
