FGDLA Government Education & Training Network Overview FGDLA So why the secret? GETN and SatCom II Interagency Cooperation What is the GETN Advantage? GETN Next Generation Networking The Big Secret in DL FGDLA Today, we are letting you in on a Government secret: Satellite is a cheap, fast, and effective way to meet distance learning requirements! So why the secret? FGDLA • Satellite not frequently considered for distance learning because often considered exotic and expensive • Panacea syndrome—Web is the answer for all distance learning • Corporate America doesn’t talk about it because it’s considered a strategic advantage • But who’s using satellite?

GETN and SatCom II Interagency Cooperation What is the GETN Advantage? GETN Next Generation Networking What is the “GETN advantage?” FGDLA • Interactive Television network that has global reach (thousands of classrooms accross CONUS, and links worldwide) • Interoperable with 15 Federal Government Agencies—over 2,200 sites in common • Preserves academic quality--Supports all levels of learning • Meets learning objectives that require highquality video and high levels of interactivity • Out-of-pocket costs for ITV is typically 10% cost of travel & per diem for in residence—and ROI is immediate! What is the “GETN advantage?” FGDLA • Responsive to frequent changes & updates • Simple course conversion & rapid dissemination • Low dropout rates • Supports other high-bandwidth applications (file transfer, computer-based instruction)— bypasses the public Internet—not impeded by network firewalls • In synch with trend in industry best practices of using blended media approaches When you want it NOW! Cost Effectiveness FGDLA Variables used ITV Costs: • Personnel: include salaries and benefits • Operations: satellite & audio; NOC admin costs • Maintenance: uplink, downlink, VTC (BC Links) • Equipment: upgrades & sustainment Residence costs: • Only travel & per diem Student throughput: • Student-hour Cost per student: • Total costs / total student-hours ROI • Residence cost / ITV Cost (as a percentage) Cost Effectiveness - AF FGDLA Based on AF per hour costs (Satellite costs centrally funded by AETC) One-week course: 30 Hours, 100 students Residence TDY Travel: $500, per diem: $846 Total per student: $1,346 for 100: $134,600 Interactive Television: Total per student hour: $4 Total per student: $120; for 100: $12,000 Cost avoidance: $1,226 per student Total per offering (100 students): $122,600 Costs for ITV are 8.9% of residence!

GETN and SatCom II Interagency Cooperation What is the GETN Advantage? GETN Next Generation Networking The Future of Satellite FGDLA • Continued growth of ITV: -- In general, industry reconsidering moving back to synchronous, interactive, blended learning (ASTD industry report & UP Report on e-Learning) -- Growth in interagency sharing of programming: increased use for rapid dissemination of health, disaster relief, national security information, & required warrior training • Continued growth of satellite e-Learning through IP multicasting and datacasting (especially CBI & print media) • Satellite will continue to compete with wireline for multipoint distribution of synch & asynch DL—who will win?
