HLA & SCORM

Working Together for More Effective E-Learning

Courseware teaches the knowledge and skills needed to be an effective warfighter. Training simulations provide opportunities to visualize and practice using those skills. VT MÄK brings them together in a fully integrated learning environment to give the warfighter the knowledge, skills, and practice to improve mission performance.

Building on our simulation interoperability expertise, MÄK has developed an approach to bring SCORM compliant interactive multimedia instruction (IMI) and training simulations together. MÄK has integrated an HLA compliant simulation with a SCORM IMI. This new training system enhances instructional quality by providing distributed students with instructionally sound, interactive, experiential learning in support of typical SCORM compliant courseware. With this integration, distributed learning becomes more standardized and more engaging for more effective individual or team training.

In the prototype system, developed for the Joint ADL Co-Lab, MAGTF-XXI was integrated with the Marine Corps Planning Process IMI. MAGTF-XXI, an HLA simulation, is a Marine expeditionary warfare trainer developed by MÄK that helps to train Marines in warfare tactics in preparation for commanding a Marine Expeditionary Unit.
