Epic's dedicated defence sector team has significant experience
and understanding of the rapidly evolving Ministry of Defence (MOD)
e-learning strategy and related projects initiated by the 2001 Defence
Training Review (DTR).
In October 2003 Epic qualified as a framework supplier to Defence
Business Learning (dblearning), one of the MOD’s e-learning
pioneer agencies. This 5-year enabling agreement can be accessed
by any part of the MOD under an ‘Authorised Demander’
scheme. The agreement was set up by dblearning to allow a large
quantity of online and offline courseware conversion to take place
in anticipation of its deployment in the short term via the Defence
e-Learning Centres (DELCs).
It is anticipated that during the latter part of 2004 this course
content will be available to a pan-defence audience via the new
internet/intranet-based Defence Learning Portal.
Epic has already commenced working on courseware conversion projects
for the Royal
Air Force, Royal Military Police, Royal School of Signals, dblearning
and Defence Contractors.
In addition Epic has commenced discussions with a number of the
new integrated Defence Schools regarding blended learning approaches
for traditional classroom-delivered courses.
Technical specialists from the Company are also involved in discussions
with MOD Departments to define standards affecting Shareable Content
Objects and Accessibility.
Epic's Donald Clark is a frequent guest speaker at Defence symposia
including NATO’s Partnerships for Peace symposium, Berlin,
June 2003; ITEC,
April 2004 and the RAF TBT Symposium, Cosford August 2004.
In the longer term, Epic is working in co-operation with leading
defence contractors in support of the MOD’s DTR Rationalisation
project.
