Berlin. The 2nd high-level forum on "E-Learning for Defence and Security" will be held at Online Educa Berlin on Wednesday, November 29. The forum will be hosted by The New Security Programme, which conducts research into the new security environment and provides a forum for discussion of its implications for civil society.
This year's programme will focus particularly on security-related applications of technology assisted learning. A major topic of the event will be training for emergency planning, resilience and response. Key issues for discussion will include Developments in Technology Assisted Learning for Defence and Security, Technology Assisted Learning and the Emergency Services, Training, Gaming and Simulation, and Changing Attitudes: Education, the Internet & Security. The forum addresses security practitioners, solutions providers, academics and government officials.
The chairman of the forum, New Security Programme director Dr. Harold Elletson said:
"The global security environment has changed dramatically during the last fifteen years and new security conditions have created a need for new defence and security solutions. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the area of education and training. New defence and security systems are increasingly linked to e-networks. Whilst education and training are becoming increasingly complex, technology assisted learning now offers a range of possibilities in the security and defence sector.
In an increasingly interconnected global economy, the rapidly changing nature of security means that there is a growing need for e-learning and online training packages in many areas of civil society. Security awareness among employees, for example, can be greatly enhanced by appropriate corporate intranet programmes. Increasingly, the corporate world is realising that it is very much part of the new security environment and that e-learning can play an important role in developing new security solutions."
