Synchronous Distributed Learning Instructor Course (SdLIC)
in REDESIGN
1. COURSE DESCRIPTION: SdLIC
is a 5-day (45-hour) course designed to support The Army School System (TASS) total force training mission. The
goal of the course is for platform instructors to develop the skills and knowledge required to effectively
deliver instruction using the Army's current synchronous dL tools; currently SdLIC teaches how to facilitate
training/education using Video Teletraining (VTT) and the Web Conferencing tool Defense Connect Online (DCO).
The SdLIC is divided into 3 lessons: a 5-hour IMI course prerequisite (Analyze VTT Instructor Knowledge
Requirements), a 23 hour VTT lesson (Facilitate Training/Education with VTT) and a 16 hour Web Conferencing
Tool lesson (Facilitate Training/Education with Web Conferencing Tools). The VTT lesson is instructor-led
teaching combined with student-centered hands-on practice to develop proficiency in operating main and auxiliary
cameras, multimedia equipment and the skills to deliver quality instruction using VTT. The Web Conferencing Tool
lesson requires students to complete various DCO tutorials, then use a job aid during instructor guided practice
to prepare and present instruction via DCO to the instructor, then to a class.
2. TARGET POPULATION:
The course is designed for experienced platform instructors who are currently, or anticipate, presenting
instruction over VTT/web conferencing tools. It provides a certification process to ensure that instructors
