This paper identifies an architecture and an educational program structure that would promote enhanced training effectiveness for military personnel by extending the traditional school classrooms to the military personnel's workplace and by providing a more flexible curriculum schedule. The Navy's surface ship and submarine forces responsible for sonar and weapons systems will be used to illustrate examples of how this architecture can be implemented to extend classes from the Navy's classrooms to ships, bases, offices, and remote locations. We illustrate how distance learning systems can be used as the backbone for this architecture and how the student work-stations in this architecture also can be used to accomplish Computer-Based Training (CBT), Part Task Training (PTT), and operational training, among others. We will identify technologies, such as video and audio digital compression, that provide the capabilities for the two-way interactive participation between an instructor and students at separate locations. Finally, we will address how this architecture can help eliminate problems with student availability and costs for access to the traditional classrooms, as well as facilitate a student's natural progression through an established curriculum.
