Distance learning in advanced military education: Analysis of joint operations course in the Taiwan military

Introduction 1/2 In the Taiwan military, candidates for promotion to colonel and major general must first undergo advanced military education (AME) training (Taiwan Yearbook, 2007). Due to their work responsibilities, line officers rarely have time to leave their posts to take AME courses in a traditional college campus. correspondence course : The learning progress of the students is reported to their instructors during monthly faculty meetings.
3
Introduction 2/2 ‘‘Joint Operations” course is the core course of the advanced military education program; the others are delivered in lecture format. The differences between the on-campus and correspondence programs for ‘‘Joint Operations” Learning style Learning effectiveness Learning participation Learning materials Study purpose Because of correspondence program is less efficient. To overcome this problem, this study presents an e-learning system for advanced military education: Distance Learning for Advanced Military Education (DL4AME).
4
Related developments The essential factors for effective e-learning for advanced military education(Wisher, Sabol, et al., 2002): classroom participation application knowledge related to real-world scenarios helping students see the immediate value of what has been taught. Comparison of on-campus programs, correspondence courses and e- learning(Sanders & Burnside, 2001): Need to designate specific class time and locations Multimedia content Personalization

10
Experimental evaluation of learning effectiveness Impact on engagement planning - T3 Battle reaction and decision-making capability – T5 Case studies - T4 Sharing learning experiences – T10 Overall learning effectiveness
11
Discussion Impact on engagement planning –92% Battle reaction and decision-making capability -84% Case studies – 74% Sharing learning experiences -80% Overall learning effectiveness -84%
12
Conclusion ”Joint Operation” course for DL4AME successfully achieved the goal of asynchronous remote learning without compromising learning effectiveness Surveys of officer students are needed to improve the DL4AME user interface Need more war game exercises and template information
