WG IT&ED
A.
TO TEST AND VERIFY AVAILIBLE SOLUTIONS AND
LAUNCH AN EXPERIMENTAL PHASE/COURSE FIRST
(e.g. INTRODUCTION TO NATO) – TO SHOW THE
PRODUCT AND TO CONVINCE DECISION MAKERS
B. LEARN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE DURING THE
PRELIMINARY PLANNING AND DEVELOMPENT
PROCESS.
C. RESEARCH ACTIVITIES ON THE ADL ISSUES (TO
LEARN FROM THE MASTERS)
D. PRELIMINARY CONCEPT OF THE WAY TO FOLLOW
(NDU WARSAW ENVIRONMENT)
E. TO ESTABLISH SYSTEM (MECHANISM LINKING ALL
THE PARTIES INVOLVED ON THE POLISH ARMED

WG IT&ED
AFTER EXPERIMENTAL AND TESTING PHASES
OUR GOAL IS TO CO-OPERATE WITH NATIONAL

4. PERSPECTIVES
WARSAW, POLAND
NATIONAL DEFENCE UNIVERSITY
WG IT&ED
OUR NATIONAL EFFORTS WILL ALSO FOCUS ON CLOSE
COOPERATION WITH TWO KEY-ORGANIZATIONS IN
POLAND:
 POLISH VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY
 ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC E-LEARNING
15
4. PERSPECTIVES
WARSAW, POLAND
NATIONAL DEFENCE UNIVERSITY
WG IT&ED
POLISH VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY IS ALREADY FULLY
DEVELOPED, STAND-ALONE, WEB-BASED ADL
PLATFORM (BUT NO CONNECTION TO THE POLISH
MILITARY).
ASSOCIATION OF ACADEMIC E-LEARNING IS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DEVELOPING OPEN, PUBLIC
SET OF CRITERIA AND METHODOLOGY OF EVALUATION
OF ON-LINE COURSES.
