DNDLearn

[dustinm]

I might be jumping the gun a little bit, but does anyone know anything about DNDLearn? There are only a couple passing references here on Army.ca, and the DND/CF website about it doesn't list much of note either.

Since the courses are distance learning, can any member of the CF take them? And what kind of courses are available?

After reading several pages from here: http://www.support.dndlearn.forces.gc.ca/pub/index-eng.asp it appears that DNDLearn is a portal allowing specially constructed civilian courses to be taken via distance learning.

Is this correct, and does it mean that there are no Military courses available on DNDLearn?

Thanks in advance

I'm taking the AFOD block 2 (Air Force Officer Development block 2), so yes, there are military courses.

Whenever you do computer based distant learning for military courses it is done via DND learn.

Not all courses. For example, CLFCSC has its own online portal (complete with outdate info and multiple, read mostly, broken links).

No.

There is also the separate eLearning for the financial & signing authorities courses.

DND Learn has a handful of "self register" courses.  For the most part, these courses are for instructors using DND Learn, for managers of civilian employees, and for new civilian employees.  However, anyone with a DND learn account can register.  ATOC Anonymous is likely of more interest to Army personnel more than anyone else.

At the same time, access to many other DNDLearn courses requires the member first be loaded by a training establishment.  Many (most/all?) OPME have a DNDLearn component.  The AOC DL is conducted through DNDLearn, and I know CFSME also uses the system for some courses.

Correct, its used for the Section 2 I/C, and Section Commander Courses, also used for the Heavy Equipment Courses.

DND Learn allows the registered students to take the course at home on the internet.

The eCourse is done on the DIN.

There is also the DNDLearn e-course "Introduction to Defence Ethics"*, which is reportedly expected to become mandatory for all mil personnel.

No kidding.  My eyes have gone funny trying to go through the Section 32/33/34 crse.  Definitely not fun to try.  Maybe I need more coffee to inject....  :-\

Wow, thanks for all the info everyone

I did OPMEs and the CFSAS DL Basic EW (Air) thru DNDLearn.
