Army Virtual Learning Environment (AVLE)

The requiring activity for the Army Virtual Learning Environment (AVLE) services is the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Capability Manager for The Army Distributed Learning Program (TCM TADLP) located at Fort Eustis, VA. The mission of TCM TADLP is to improve Army readiness by providing rigorous, relevant, and tailored distributed training and education to Soldiers, leaders, and civilians at the point of need from a responsive and accessible delivery capability. TCM TADLP is an integral component of the institutional, operational, and self-development training domains. TCM TADLP combines resources of the Active Army and Reserve Component to deliver instruction to Soldiers and units worldwide. It uses information technology to develop, implement, and evaluate instruction, enhancing and extending traditional methods of learning. TCM TADLP is comprised of Army-wide courseware development, the Army e- Learning program, and the Army Learning Content Management Capability (ALCMC). Critical to accessibility of TCM TADLP products are the Point-Of-Delivery (POD) enablers, including classrooms, mobile devices, desktops, and facilities, used to access content and conduct individual and collective training and education at the point of need. TCM TADLP supports the Department of Defense (DoD) intent to deliver "learner centric" training when and where required, increasing and sustaining readiness throughout the force, Active and Reserve.

AVLE provides virtual learning for training and education products in support of the Department of the Army. A few of the key performance outcomes are to design, develop, and deliver an extensive range of distributed learning training and education products, to develop five levels (0 through 4) of instructional multimedia (level 5 is not in the scope of this contract or subsequent task orders), design products employing innovative instructional strategies and methodologies, and to design products that support analysis, synthesis, and effective domains of learning. The definition of the five levels of instructional multimedia are: Level 0 - PowerPoint and charts; Level 1 - Practice Activities; Level 2 - Scenario Based Cues; Level 3 - 3D Modeling and Gaming and; Level 4 - Augmented and Virtual Reality.
