SkillsNET® and Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Integrate SkillObjects® into SCORM/S1000D

WAXAHACHIE, TX July 20, 2006 -

The ADL Job Performance Technology Center (JPTC) announced during the S1000D/SCORM Testbed initiative that SkillsNET will join an international team to begin the integration of SkillObjects into the S1000D/SCORM frameworks. This partnership will advance the research and development in, and implementation of, job performance technologies across the DoD, as well as create a bridge between online learning content and technical data.

The ADL recently held an event called PerformanceFest 2006 in which integration and implementation of standards based new technologies was the central theme. SkillsNET was represented by Dr. Jill Strange, as she took part in a presentation introducing the logistics behind integrating SkillObjects with S1000D and SCORM. SkillsNET's involvement benefits ADL by giving them a source for high-fidelity occupational skills that will enable them to build a framework that allows for better training content.
