Army Posture Statement 2009
As a starting point - here is the Army Posture Statement 2009.
Can we post questions (knowing they may not be answered)?

The scholarship of teaching and learning results in equal hatred from latte leftists and cappuccino conservatives.
All opinions are mine and may or may not reflect those of my employer depending on the chance it might affect funding, politics, or the setting of the sun. As such these are my opinions you can get your own.
Can we also post answers
hoping they will raise questions? Seriously.
Since it is Training and Doctrine I'm wondering about changing the training methods and better assessment of learning by soldiers at all levels. Where do they see education going? Are they looking at adoption of advanced distance education tools that enhance presence, education objectives, and peer-to-peer interaction? I've got questions like that.Originally Posted by Ken White

Sure...
Please post questions - they could be read and answered here - or we may bring them up at the conference - that is really why we set this up...
Good questions and my sensing is they're working
on all that -- the distance learning bit being money dependent...
I think Outcome Based Training is a critical need but will be resisted by many in TRADOC citing cost as a deterrent -- the actual deterrent is that it's not easy, so trainers have to work harder...
Hi Ken,
I'm pretty sceptical about distance education myself. I've seen some really good examples of it, but I've also seen some really bad ones. There do seem to be some excellent ones in the pipeline.
The money really comes in at the start. Really good online training, depending on what you are training for, costs like crazy at the start, but the per unit delivery cost drops significantly. It's a basic software model that's operating - insane upfront cost and totally insignificant replication costs. Where the real costs come in, IMO, is in the time required to download, install and, most importantly, actively use the material.
I'm a great believer in working smarter than harder. The USAF Culture, Region and Language Program is a good example of working smarter.
