PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- The Center for Cryptology (CC) Corry Station completed the first cryptology course under the Revolution in Navy Training’s Reusable Learning Object (RLO) format in June. The course will provide initial skill training for Sailors entering the cryptologic technician technical (CTT) rating.
The revised training materials meet the standards specified by the shareable content object reference model (SCORM), which addresses interoperability, accessibility, and reusability of learning content. This means the RLOs operate interchangeably with different tool sets and platforms, can be accessed from one or many remote locations (such as Navy eLearning via Navy Knowledge Online) and delivered to other locations, and are flexible enough to be used in multiple applications.
"With RLOs, training modules are created once, and made available for use by all training centers and afloat units," said Cmdr. David Bondura, CC functional integration manager. "The goal being that more Sailors will have access to a module of training at the time they need it most, in order to accomplish the task at hand. The purpose is to make a verifiable and accountable link between the training and the mission essential tasks that a Sailor must perform."
Traditional courses were created as one entity and presented in one way to one audience, whether that was a classroom or electronically. The SCORM standard provides the ability to design content in learning clusters. They stand alone as independent learning modules, which can be reused across a variety of delivery media and are easily imported into other Navy curriculums.
This CTT course is part of a continuing conversion effort to bring all Navy curriculums into SCORM compliance, with the goal of getting the right training to Sailors at the right time whether ashore, at sea, overseas or en route to a new duty station.
