OutStart to Implement its LCMS to Transform Canada Air Force Training Operations

Boston — Dec. 11
OutStart plans to implement its OutStart LCMS (learning content management system) software as part of a global project to help Canada’s Air Force transform its training operations. The project, called AFIILE (Air Force Integrated Information and Learning Environment), is led by CAE and enlists OutStart, xwave and other companies to help Canada’s Air Force build a military training environment that will meet current and future requirements. AFIILE offers an integrated suite of software applications that users can access to develop, manage and deliver training content across the enterprise.
“There’s a proliferation of training and information systems within the Canadian Air Force, and training content is not widely accessible between one Air Force school and another,” said Major Denis Forest of the Directorate Air Force Programs. “AFIILE will provide our men and women with an environment in which to share mission-critical content. An LCMS allows us to marshal all of our training resources to be far more agile in terms of where and how we train our personnel. We feel the LCMS will be a catalyst for increasing a learner’s time on task and enabling our people to do their jobs faster and better, since they’ll no longer be tied to any single type of instruction.”
According to the Canadian Air Force, more personnel are retiring each year; and the pace of operations has picked up. Therefore, Air Force trainers believe conventional training methods are no longer the most efficient way for its schools to impart the instruction needed to meet the Air Force mission.
OutStart was chosen to provide the LCMS as part of the AFIILE program. The OutStart LCMS is designed to automate the development and delivery of learning, capture and repurpose training content and integrate the collaboration of experts.
“CAE and its AFIILE team will deliver a performance-oriented training solution to Canada’s Department of National Defense that will reduce the training time required to achieve proficiency, while increasing overall training capacity,” said Marc Parent, CAE’s executive vice president and chief operating officer. “The AFIILE program helps further establish CAE’s leadership position in military training services in Canada, and we are pleased to have leading companies such as Outstart as part of our AFIILE team.”
The LCMS will standardize the way online training is created and distributed, so units across Canada’s Air Force can access the same lessons, in the same way. In addition, OutStart’s software will give Air Force training professionals a way to collaborate online with other personnel who may have expertise important to developing a training program.
To do this, the LCMS provides a virtual room where experts and training professionals can contribute know-how, review content and edit and approve e-learning courses, regardless of their time zone or location.
