Enclosure (1) to COMDTINST 1554.2

Expand the availability of e-Learning for CG Training and Support and

Objective

provide a set of technical standards for Learning Center (LC) equipment.

When unit resources are available, Commanding Officers and Officers-In-

Charge are encouraged to use these guidelines when establishing an LC.

Unit Education Services Officers (ESOs) are typically tasked with

coordinating the development, use and management of LCs, which should

include collecting LC usage data. A sample position description is available

from the Coast Guard Institute and is posted on CG Central.

Roles and

Partnering with local CG Auxiliary may be one alternative to staffing busy

Responsibilities

LCs. Auxiliary members can serve as watchstanders, collect usage data and

assist users in a variety of ways.

Servicing ESUs can assist as consultants to this endeavor.

CG-132 is responsible for coordinating inter-LC collaboration and providing

consulting services for LC development.

Commands should establish site-specific policies through local instructions to

ensure that LCs promote a positive learning environment and that students

use government computers and internet access in accordance with CI5375.1

(series), CI5230.2 (series), CIM5500.13 (series), and CIM5500.17.

Commands are encouraged to collaborate with units that have existing LCs to

Policy

share local policies and implementation issues.

Units should keep a record of LC users. Tracking the reasons for LC use is

justification actions.

At commands where demand for LC use indicates, the CO may wish to

establish a hierarchy of authorized users such as:

1. Active Duty, Selected Reserve, Civilian Employees and Auxiliarists

without computer and/or internet access.

Priority of Users

2. All members with computer and/or internet access who require LC access

to perform tasks not capable from non-LC workstations (e.g. e-Testing).

3. Family members without computer and/or internet access.

Units choosing to install an LC bear all the costs for equipment acquisition,

installation, maintenance, and operation. Partnering with local academic

institutions may be an alternative to establishing a stand-alone LC. For CG

Funding and

solutions, costs will vary greatly depending upon the LC configuration. Units

Costs

are encouraged to investigate funding alternatives including CG Foundation

and other locally available gifts.

The integrity of data, learning records, and any test results is foundational to

successful e-Learning. The ESO (or other individual designated in writing)

should be responsible for the security of the unit LC.

Proctored e-Testing, if required, shall be conducted in accordance with

current testing procedures promulgated by the Coast Guard Institute
