| In 2001,
the Army launched one of the most innovative e-learning
programs in the world, eArmyU—a state-of-the-art
virtual learning program that provides active-duty
enlisted and Active Guard Reserve Soldiers the
opportunity to achieve a college degree or certificate
anytime, anywhere, across the Army enterprise.
The vision of eArmyU is to develop educated, technology-savvy
Soldiers who can succeed in the network-centric
missions of the 21st century. While the Army Continuing
Education System has a longstanding tradition of
supporting Soldiers’ educational goals through
traditional distance learning and classroom-based
instruction, military duties at times prevent Soldiers
from attending courses in the classroom environment.
eArmyU’s unprecedented academic access, choice,
and flexibility effectively lowers this barrier
while helping to sustain a competitive advantage
in America’s efforts to preserve peace and security
around the world. eArmyU integrates educational
opportunity with troop readiness, sharpening Soldiers’ critical-thinking
skills and strengthening the Army’s commitment
to an agile, versatile, and adaptive force.
At the heart of the program is
the world’s largest online education portal, www.eArmyU.com.
Students can access and complete courses anytime,
anywhere, enabling them to continue their studies
even as their responsibilities, schedules, and locations
change.
