DADL WG AGENDA:
Featured Topic: Multiple Access to Supplemental Learning Objects(MASLO) - Dr. Rovy Brannon & Ms. Cathrin Weiss
Description:
The Mobile Access to Supplementary Learning Objects (MASLO) is an open source mobile learning publishing system. The Academic Advanced Distributed Learning Co-Lab in Madison, Wisconsin is developing MASLO under an ADL Broad Agency Announcement. MASLO allows non-technical authors to easily create basic training content packages that can be deployed to mobile phones. These packets are downloaded into a native mobile phone (Android or iOS) application. Once downloaded by a learner, the packs can be run without an active internet connection. MASLO consists of three components:
1) A lightweight mobile learning content authoring tool built to run on Mac, Windows, and Linux computers
2) A cloud storage mechanism (the pilot is using Amazon S3)
3) Applications for Google Android and Apple iOS players
In this session, the presenters will describe the MASLO system, its current status, future development plans, and how agencies can download the open source code for their own deployment.

The objective of the DoD Advanced Distributed Learning (DADL) Working Group (WG) is to facilitate collaboration among all stakeholders that are involved with the content development, instructional systems design, technical implementation or related support of any distributed learning environment for the DoD. The purpose of the working group is to allow the ADL team to brief you on new developments and provide a forum for DoD ADL stakeholders to share lessons learned, best practices, and solicit questions to the other group members and ADL team.
