Opportunities and Challenges JKDDC Portal Development Provide Single Sign On (SSO) and subsequent establishment of a federated search. Use Defense Knowledge Online (DKO) for accelerated and efficient delivery of online courses Lead Joint community in adoption of federated search of knowledge portals Promote development of Joint Learning Continuum and Joint Qualifications Management Initiatives JKDDC Conduit Options to J/PME Schools Linkages to a federation of J/PME community of interest (COI) portals Bilateral hosting of JPME/ JKDDC Courses (Policy implications) Bridges across online Joint education and training divides Knowledge as a Force Multiplier

Background: Joint Learning Continuum Four interdependent pillars with assessment Joint Individual Training...learning to do Joint Learning Portal (JLP); “virtual schoolhouse” Joint Professional Military Education…learning to think Competency-based…Petri dish for culture change Self-development…self-directed learning Self-motivated quest of knowledge Increased Commanding Officer role Joint Experience…practical application of what was learned Joint experience accrues where jointness is applied Joint exercises (JXP) Multiple paths of delivery and/or attainment J/PME Schools/ Portals JKDDC Portal (Internet, NIPR, SIPRNET) Phase I school’s have anywhere, anyplace signup, then JKDDC certainly plays.

Accordingly, the focus is on Joint senior level PME which is resident-based. JFSC is one of three Joint combined level schools. Although it has only resident curriculum, it does have online courses (SNCO) that are hosted by JKDDC. Also, the focus on FY-07 is on senior level PME where nonresident curriculum is lacking. The Army War College and Air War College have nonresident programs and are not targeted in FY 07. This could change in that Knowledge as a Force Multiplier
