Ammunition Multimedia Encyclopedia (AME): A Case Study

Many organizations are using Distance Learning (DL) technology to expedite training. The military in particular is implementing DL because technology is transforming warfighting which means training loads are increasing. The demographics of the military are changing, with the Digital (D) Generation being the majority of new recruits. DL has been successful with the D Generation because they are very technology savvy and very comfortable using computers. This paper presents a theory-based description of how a comprehensive web-based application known as the Ammunition Multimedia Encyclopedia (AME) was developed that provides a wide range of information for ammunition handling and transportation.
