- W228299923 abstract "Learners will need to build knowledge proactively. Heimstra believes more research is needed to determine better ways of incorporating computer technology and electronic communication into self-directed learning as more distance education programs are created. POWERFUL INFORMATION technologies are dramatically improving today's Army. In virtually every sphere, technologies unheard of a few years ago now promise to revolutionize diverse operations. One area that information technology systems have already significantly affected is training. More than ever before, information technology systems are forging and refining soldiers' battlefield skills, changing the face of Army training. From new software at the heart of the Standard Army Training System (SATS) to complex instrumentation systems at the combat training centers, new information technologies are producing soldiers with skills to dominate operations across the spectrum of conflict. High-tech training devices and simulations are here to stay. The information technologies that they embody determine how and where the Army trains, dramatically improve the commander's ability to plan and manage training, and provide leverage that improves training effectiveness. As with all revolutions, maximizing information technology's benefits depends on the initiative and determination of the user--applications developed in a laboratory are not necessarily as effective as those developed in the field. This article shares the story of how one small technology-related training improvement was developed and applied in the field, how it might have been applied to today's institutional training pillar and how it might be changed to meet the Army's future needs. It started at the Combat Maneuver Training Center (CMTC), Hohenfels, Germany, where trainers searched for ways to better manage unit training and the training feedback process. Origins of the Training Feedback System During an autumn 1994 rotation at the CMTC, the Army Research Institute (ARI) demonstrated an electronic clipboard system (ECS) for collecting performance data on units undergoing training and providing better feedback to commanders. The new system was complex, cumbersome to assemble and, once booted, forced users to crawl through bewildering, information-laden screens. The ECS was a good idea but was not much help and ended up stowed in a wall locker. What the CMTC team really needed was a simple, user-friendly program to liberate the center's overworked observer/controllers (O/Cs) from the cumbersome, manual methods of recording observations on note cards and the time-consuming drill required to translate these observations into feedback for commanders. O/C Feedback O/Cs' primary mission is to provide useful feedback to individuals and units training at the center. Feedback is provided in two forms: after-action reviews (AAR) and mission or battle summaries. In the field, an AAR can take various forms--from an informal backbrief on butcherpaper charts to scaled replications of the unit and battle, such as a sand table. Once the unit has completed the training, a formal, fully instrumented AAR in the center's training analysis facility (TAF) is typically conducted. This AAR makes full use of the TAF's simulation technologies, voice- and datacapturing capabilities and high-resolution graphics. The mission or battle summary takes one to two pages for each battle. Done correctly, a mission or battle summary identifies and articulates deficiencies within each of the battlefield operating systems (BOS) by phase (planning, preparation or execution) for each mission. These summaries are key parts of the unit's take-home package that commanders and operations officers use to assess mission-essential task list (METL) training deficiencies, overall unit readiness and create a training plan that will address shortfalls. Ideally, the unit receives its take-home package before departing the training center. …" @default.
