Handheld applications (apps), such as those run on Android and iPhone devices, hold the possibility of revolutionizing military training by increasing the availability and engagement of training material. This paper describes progress on software design and development towards a general framework for deploying Android training apps. A primary objective is to allow nonprogrammers to reuse existing content to create training apps that make full use of the capabilities offered by mobile devices. The described prototype implementation includes a web page where the end user fills out a form, uploads content, and receives an email with a link that they can follow (and share with others) to download their app directly to their device. The main contributions of this paper are: The requirements that led to the framework design, the description of the implemented framework, and a summary of qualitative feedback received from targeted demonstrations. While this framework has been developed with a focus on military training, it is broadly applicable in a civilian educational setting as well.
