Chapter 1 ADVANCED DISTRIBUTED LEARNING (ADL) PROGRAM I~SPONSIBILITIES

1.1. General. AdvancedDistributed Learning is any methodof education and training that takes place whenan instructor is not physically present. ADL emphasizescollaboration on standards-based versions of reusable objects, networks, and learning management systems, yet mayinclude some legacy methods and media. ADL includes numerous media such as paper, CD-ROM, interactive television, videotape, audiotape, and the Internet. The emphasisis on converting courses to ADL instruction whereappropriate, to deliver training anywhere, anytime. ADL the evolution of Distance Learning (DL) and, although is agencies mayuse different terms (e.g., exportable training, Type6, Job Site Training [JST], etc.), they all fall within the AFdefinition of ADL. 1.1.1. Resident courses, divided into modules, makeit easier to focus technology insertion, shorten course length, and accept equivalencies for civilian acquired skills and knowledge. ADL modules madeavailable to course graduates, trainers and supervisors could be used to enhance training and individual development programs. 1.1.2. Reusability is at the core of ADL development. Adheringto ADL standards allows for training modulesdeveloped for one user to potentially apply to a wide-range of users. Initiatives can improve infrastructure utilization, efficiencies, flexibility, and productivity in appropriate educationand training by converting resident training to ADL. 1.1.3. The term MAJCOM, when used in this volume, refers to all Major Commands (MAJCOM), Field Operating Agencies (FOA), Direct Reporting Units (DRU), ANG,and AFRC unless otherwise indicated. 1.2. HQUSAF/DP. 1.2.1. Establishes policy, provides guidance, and budget oversight, and advocates for program requirements during the various Planning Programming and Budget System (PPBS) cycles. 1.2.1.1. Funding will flow from the Air Staffto each MAJCOM ADL for execution. Each MAJCOM will include ADL badget requirements with their POM submission(s). 1.2.2. Coordinates program requirements witb DoDand other agencies. 1.3. HQ AETC. 1.3.1. The executive agent and lead command for the AF ADL Program (AFADLP). 1.3.2. Provides oversight, integration and management direction in support of the AFADLR Coordinates AFADLP functions and implementationactions for the Total Force in concert with the offices of corollary responsibility from the ANG AFRC. and 1.3.3. Develops ADL strategic, and implementation master plans.

1.3.4. Plans, programs, and budgets resources for ADL implementation and sustainment of requirements for education, flying and technical training courses and ADL training that has applicability across functional areas of responsibility.
