Advanced Learning Environment for the Aerospace Industry
Overview The Aviation/Aerospace industry as a whole, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in particular, are facing a potential crisis. At the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station alone nearly 60 percent of the workforce will reach retirement age within the next few years. Capturing the knowledge of the experienced workforce, as well as preparing and supporting the next generation of aerospace workers, is critical to ensure the success of future military and commercial space operations. To address this issue, NASA and the State of Florida have funded the development of the Advanced Learning Environment (ALE), an entirely Web-based virtual learning and collaboration community. Produced by the Florida Space Research Institute (FSRI), ALE contains asynchronous Web-based training, synchronous Web classes, real-time collaboration tools, bulletin boards, chat functionality, and a variety of performance support resources. ALE has been designed to incorporate evolving SCORM standards.
