Author(s):  
Paweł MACIEJEWSKI

The aim of the article is to prove that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can serve as viable didactic tools in the CBRN troops’ education and training. The analysis of selected case studies reveals that specific competences can be trained with the support of social media, e-learning platforms, virtual worlds, mobile technologies or even augmented reality technologies. The unique qualities of these tools, such as an easy access to the training content, interactivity, or possibility of simulating different scenarios allow for designing a training process tailored both for larger groups and an individual.

Over the last years, the astonishing progress of modern telecommunication networks and the simultaneous spread of the Internet have brought about unprecedented access to a wealth of information and resources. The full development of Internet’s potential to improve access to education and training, and to enhance the quality of learning, is a key prerequisite for building a European (and a global) knowledge society. In particular, not only education but also social cohesion and market competitiveness depend more and more on Europe’s ability to adapt (appropriately) its educational and training systems in order to realize this major challenge (Stewart, 2004). Without any doubt, information and communication technologies (ICT) can offer significant potential for the improvement of education and training (Kruse, 2002; Tsai & Machado, 2002) in several areas, as they can strongly support learning processes through enhanced communication, discovery, simulation, exploration, and problem solving (Ewing & Miller, 2002).

The e-learning study reflects a trend in the integration of information and communication technologies in universities. This trend evokes a new form of teaching and learning and a new form of relationship between students and teachers. In fact, information and communication technologies, such as e-learning, call into question the ways of thinking and the ways of acting of individuals in the representation of learning. This paradigm shift requires introspection and the renewal of skills. In the face of these changes, higher education institutes must develop and make essential the courses that allow students to adapt to the new demands of the labor market. on the other hand, information and communication technologies and computer networks, These objects from daily life, are part of the immediate environment that is both professional, educational and personal of each one. With the massive arrival of personal and accessible digital tools (computers, nomadic equipment such as mobile phones and digital tablets, etc…), multiple online spaces are emerging on the Internet (discussion forums, e-learning platforms, blogs, messaging, chats, social networks like Facebook, online information sharing sites, etc…). E-learning offers features that differentiate it from others media objects such as books or television. e-learning offers quick, even instant, access to a multitude of information sources. They make it possible to store them and facilitate the possibilities of networking between individuals and groups of individuals whatever the time and place. Access to the Internet information network is "universal". You only need to connect to a computer on the network to access almost this entire network. Access is also "simultaneous" because each Internet user exists on the network in the form of information by "his digital presence", by the data that he moves or deposits and the interactions caused. We can also say that access is independent of time and distance since it is a space permanently open to human activity. Developing an e-learning application for each technology requires a lot of human resources and technical knowledge. To solve this problem we propose a development of an e-learning application according to a model-driven architecture approach. This paper is a development of our work in paper [Srai,2020].

Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) are the core of e-learning platforms and have evolved according to the development of new information and communication technologies. In this type of software there are many products on the market, some developed by the institutions themselves (in-house), others are free and open source software (FOSS) and others are more commercial, varying in functionality and technology, but almost always adhering to the standards used in e-learning so that learning objects fulfill their purpose of being usable and reusable. This paper introduces you to current LMS / LCMS, main functions, distinctive features, related standards, and their current status. Then there is a presentation of Machine Learning as a branch of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Computing as a fusion discipline between computation, cognition, psychology and artificial intelligence, to end in a proposal for the incorporation of these technologies in a new generation of e-learning platforms, all in an integrated framework of interoperability and governance.

Online education requires careful thinking about how students and teachers are equipped to change traditional education to the new digital technology requirements. Digital learning management systems, communication tools and e-learning platforms play a crucial role in the new conditions of online learning. Programs and applications can help learning providers manage, plan, deliver, and track learning. Teachers, in addition to specialized skills in the field of teaching subjects, are presented with new skills of knowledge and management of digital tools. Digital competence is one of the eight key competences, materializing in the confident and critical use of the entire range of information and communication technologies for information, communication and problem solving in all areas of life. The use of digital technologies and living speech, represents a whole didactic creation, which individualizes the presented discourse to become an art in shaping the souls of the young generation.


Education and training process employees at this time still use many fundamental methods that have some weaknesses, such as the education and training process can only be done with the condition of face-to-face meetings between participants and instructors in class, the costs incurred to organize are expensive, the amount of accommodation and transportation costs , lack of motivation to attend training, lack of control from the leadership of employee training activities and possible loss of modules and subject matter. This research aims to build E-Learning that can help leaders, staff, instructors, and participants in carrying out the education and training process more effectively and efficiently. Besides this website-based e-learning can also be used as a monitoring tool for leaders to control the activities and results of employee training. This research was conducted at PT. Pegadaian which is an Indonesian State-Owned Enterprise engaged in finance by interviewing employees and leaders related to education and training activities that have taken place so far. The E-Learning Control Based Website on Employee Education and Training is designed using the PHP programming language with the Laravel Framework and MySql Database. By using this system, the education and training process can be done anytime and anywhere, ease in accessing subject matter, comfort in discussing with instructors or with fellow participants as well as easy access for leaders to monitor and control training activities conducted by employees

In the present knowledge economy, individuals, particularly working adults, need to continuously acquire purposeful knowledge and skills so they can better contribute towards addressing society’s ever-changing developmental challenges. In the developing world however, few opportunities exist for working adults to acquire such new learning experiences through the formal education sector, and this makes it imperative for organizations to develop non-formal education and training programs to help address this need. With the proliferation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) worldwide, this article recommends the adoption of Collaborative Online Learning (COL) by non-formal learning organizations as a means of helping address the education and training needs of working adults. The article thus provides an overview of COL, and then draws on the research literature on relevant theories to recommend best-practice strategies for designing and delivering effective and workable COL initiatives within non-formal education settings, particularly in the developing world.
