Naval Environmental Training Programme – Officer Distance Learning Online Courseware D. NETPO Handbook Background 1. Analysis is the first phase within the six-phase Canadian Forces Individual Training and Education System (CFITES) Quality Control model. The purpose of the analysis phase is to specify the required training and education outcomes in terms of essential on-job performance (ref A). This phase requires the input of Managing Authority, end-users, subject matter experts (SMEs) and training development specialists. Various sources of information are examined, such as needs assessment, departmental direction, lessons learned and after action reports, validation reports, occupational analysis, and approved revised specifications. Tasks for training are identified, selected and organized. The end result of the analysis phase is the creation of Qualification Standards (QS), or the amendment of existing QS. 2. Training programmes within the CF are focused on the essential skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to meet operational requirements and Department performance goals. Qualification Standards (QS) are the primary CFITES quality control documents; they are the foundation for the design, development, conduct, evaluation and validation of Individual Training & Education (IT&E) programmes. For every training programme, its corresponding QS describes the tasks the trainees must perform on the job, the conditions under which these tasks must be performed, and the standard of performance needed to attain operational requirements and/or departmental goals. 3. A review of the Naval Environmental Training Programme - Officers Distance Learning (NETPO DL) was conducted to verify alignment with the Maritime Command Qualification Standard and Plan: Naval Environmental Training Programme – Officer (NETPO QSP). The NETPO DL programme should be in agreement with the NETPO QSP because this ensures that the programme produces graduates with the knowledge and skills required to further their training in the MARS III programme. 1/4 4. The NETPO DL programme consists of online courseware and the NETPO Handbook. This programme covers three Performance Objectives (POs), PO 001, 002 and 004. Each PO contains Enabling Objectives (EOs); there are a total of fourteen EOs. The EOs represent important content that must be understood by the trainees in order to complete a PO. The EOs end with an Enabling Check (EC) called a Confirmation Exercise (CE). In this NETPO DL package, the CEs are comprised of three questions which the trainees answer in order to evaluate their own understanding of the material before progressing to the next EO. Failure to answer the questions correctly indicates that the trainee must review the material to gain a better understanding of the subject matter. There are three Performance Checks (PCs), one for each PO. The trainees must pass all three PC exams to pass the NETPO DL programme. The CEs do not count towards the final mark, they are for self-assessment only. Aim 5. To review the NETPO DL programme with the following goals: a. b. c. d. e. Determine if the course content covers all of the teaching points within the NETPO QSP; Identify any extraneous material which may be removed from the DL programme; Verify that the review questions originate from the teaching points found in the NETPO QSP and are adequate for self-assessment of trainees; Purpose limited changes to the design of course material; and Report findings to the E-Learning Team Leader. Discussion 6. Alignment. A comparison was made between the NETPO DL course material and the NETPO QSP teaching points. The results of this alignment verification are found in Annex A. It was determined that the teaching points are well covered and there is little extraneous material within POs 001, 002 and 004 with the following exceptions: a. b. c. d. EO 001.01, EO 001.04 and EO 001.10 and EO 002.03 are not covered; (TBD through A/MARS to confirm they are covered in house) EO 001.05 and EO 001.09 do not cover all teaching points; EO 001.02 is lacking a publications search assignment IAW para 10 j of EO 001.02. This assignment is required to acquaint the trainees with locating important information within the publications; and In EO 002.01 the trainees are missing out on a valuable discussion of leadership qualities with their CTO IAW para 10 of EO 002.01. 7. Self-assessment Questions. The CE questions must be based on the teaching points found within the NETPO QSP and they should give the trainees an idea of questions they can expect on their PCs. The CEs allow the trainees to assess their understanding of the material by quizzing on a few of the topics covered in the EOs. Not all of the teaching points need to be covered by the CE questions. This review reports on whether the CE reflects the teaching points and whether the questions are adequate for self-assessment. Details are found in Annex B. The 2/4 review questions of each CE were found to be based on topics within their corresponding EO, with the exception of EO 001.04 in which two of the three quiz questions are off-topic. The questions within the CEs were well worded and the answers were correct with the exception of Q1 of EO 002.02 where the wording was unclear. Recommendations 8. Alignment. In order to more closely align the course material with the NETPO QSP the following can be corrected: a. According to the NETPO QSP, EO 001.04 must cover the Customs and Traditions of the Navy. Trainees are expected to research a large list of topics independently; links are provided but the trainee must navigate the sites and it is not guaranteed that they will find the required information. If online courseware is developed for EO 001.04 it would benefit the trainees by saving their time and ensuring that they have access to testable material. In addition, two questions need to be added to the CE of EO 001.04, perhaps from the existing library; b. Course material should be revised to include the missing teaching points in EO 001.05 and 001.09; and c. The trainees should be given assignments such as a Publications Search Assignment for EO 001.02 and a Leadership Case Study for EO 002.01. 9. Design of Course Material. Some of the online courseware requires updating. For example, references to the Vancouver Olympics are made as if it will be occurring when it already has occurred. There are a few spelling mistakes and omitted words within the on-line content that can easily be corrected. Links that do not work (see Annex C) should be either corrected or removed. External links should be replaced with our own material or Government of Canada and DIN links since we cannot control the availability or the accuracy of the outside links. Changing the name of the “Conformation Exercises” to “Enabling Checks” will conform to CFITES. Conclusions 10. It is hoped that the findings of this review can be used to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the NETPO DL programme. A more strict alignment of the course material should better prepare the trainees for their next training phase, MARS III. N.J.
