The goal of Navy E-Learning is to provide access to courses that provide the knowledge and skills the Navy workforce needs to empower themselves and foster lifelong learning habits. Individuals logging into Navy E-Learning will be able to control the time, place, and extent of learning. You'd be hard pressed to find an organization that gives its people more opportunities to realize their full potential. Other expanded capabilities of the new Navy E-Learning Web site are access to Navy and Department of Defense training and education, video teletraining course catalogs links to other education, training, and professional development information, and a cyber cafe. Students may study with other classmates via the online chat and capability of the cyber cafe, as well as access newspapers from around the world and search education, training, and professional development references and links.
Users can search the catalog for courses by identifying skills or occupations, of interests.
They can identify personal skills they want to improve, assess their level of proficiency, track improvements and identify Navy E- Learning courses aimed at developing the selected skills. Navy E-Learning will also manage, track, and record course usage and completions. This includes active duty, Reserve members, civil service employees and active duty family members. Naval personnel with access to the Internet, either from work or home, can tap into Navy E-Learning at their convenience. For Sailors on ships without continuous Internet access at sea, there are several initiatives are underway to develop alternative methods to provide access to web courses and other online resources by the end of 2002.
