NATO SCHOOL´S ADVANCED DISTRIBUTED LEARNING PROGRAM (ADL) – a integrated tool to enhance training and education

ADL for pre-learning purposes, as used at NATO School, is a useful tool in support of the resident courses. The online courses allows the course director and the lectures to presume certain knowledge on each course topic and address the audience on more detailed issues of the topic. In addition ADL offers a widespread possibility in individual training and learning, e.g. instructor lead course preparation, e-readings and the building of communities of practise. By using ADL in different ways the Course Directors can focus on the specials needs of his audience and tailor not only the ADL course, but especially the resident course to the needs of the students.
