MarineNet Electronic Distance Learning Product Development
CDET manages the development and hosting of electronic distance learning (EDL) products to support professional military education, MOS skill progression training, pre-deployment training, cross-functional training applicable to all Marines, and, to a limited extent, entry-level training.
Our online learning management system, MarineNet (more info), delivers and tracks a variety of instructional media, including computer-based interactive multimedia instruction (IMI); self-contained instructional graphics, video, and/or audio files; printable lesson plans, student guides, and supporting documents; electronic performance support elements; interactive electronic technical manuals; and secure assessment and evaluation instruments. In many cases, EDL products are blended with resident instruction to enrich the learning experience and create a cohesive instructional package.
Electronic Distance Learning Product Application
CDET is currently accepting applications for our TECOM electronic learning targeting board for EDL products, MarineNet hosting services, and multimedia services. Submitted proposals may comprise traditional tracked courseware or alternative EDL solutions, including but not limited to multimedia training aids, performance support tools, and video tutorial packages.
CDET will review all proposals according to established criteria. Once a project is selected for a formal distance learning analysis and planning (DLAP) process, it is matched with available resources and placed in a queue for development. CDET partners with the requesting organization and develops a charter delineating support requirements to which both organizations agree. The requesting organization will be responsible for providing content, assisting in the design of supporting scenarios and situations, and reviewing each phase of the development process to ensure that content is accurate.
