Training & Collaboration Technology Roadmap

Efficiently raise DoD and HBCU/MI users HPC competency levels to an all time high through quality training integrating new delivery technologies
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5

define and implement guidelines and procedures, identify user community by skill level, HPC training needs, CTA, locality, develop training courses, and evaluation methods

investigate network-based training and authoring tools (workshop and colloquium)

on-site hands-on facilty with recording capabilities

web-based course catalog

web-based registration

web-based calendaring (site-specific and program-wide)

broadcast experiments (MBONE)

convert audio from recorded course and course materials and combine (PIE/RealAudio Encoder)

web-based course materials of courses taught

web-based planning documents

electronic evaluation summaries and tracking system (UNIX, Excel)

identify user community by skill level, HPC training needs, CTA, locality, develop training courses, and evaluation methods

enhance on-site hands-on facility with capturing and broadcasting capabilities

update existing web-based training information

real-time synchronization of audio with course materials (WLS)

initial distance learning experiments (MBONE/TANGO)

define underlying database architecture for design, delivery, and administration (RIB, TANGO, WebWisdom, Lotus-Notes, Oracle)

integrated web-based evaluation

identify user community by skill level, HPC training needs, CTA, locality, develop training courses, and evaluation methods

update existing web-based training information

enhance real-time capturing capabilities of training courses for re-use asynchronously and include dynamic annotations to material (electronic input devices)

deploy synchronized HPC training to multiple sites (TANGO)

web-based multi-user training registration and tracking system

integrate existing course materials into Training System

develop and provide interactive asynchronous training courses

identify user community by skill level, HPC training needs, CTA, locality, develop training courses, and evaluation methods

integrate calendaring/scheduling, registration, evaluation, and reporting into Training System

enhance synchronized HPC training to multiple sites (TANGO follow-on) to include more courses and capture capabilities

develop and provide dynamic learner-centered interactive asynchronous training courses

Fully integrated collaborative multi-user Training System that is flexible and adaptable.
