The Office of Homeland Security has created a new working group to focus entirely on developing common e-learning tools and courses for the new Homeland Security Department.
The group is intended to make sure that internal and external training are coordinated across the department, Lee Holcomb, director of infostructure for the Office of Homeland Security, said Dec. 10.
"E-learning, in my opinion, will be an important part of the new department," he said, speaking at the E-Gov Homeland Security conference, sponsored by FCW Media Group, in Washington, D.C.
Calls went out last week to all the organizations that are moving into Homeland Security asking for training officials to get involved in the working group, Holcomb said.
Internal employees will be trained, and the department also will lead training development for state and local agencies and other first responders.
Holcomb, the former chief information officer at NASA, said that the best approach likely will be to build on training that already exists, much the way NASA did with the computer-based information security training developed by the Defense Information Systems Agency.

| Im considered a right winger by people who like to label, but I step back and shake my head with Homeland Security. Maybe after a few years it will become a useful section of the government but at this time it appears to be just more bureaucracy that serves no one but itself. Good luck with e-learning. |

People...... as a member of more than one of these government e-learning groups, I can tell you that the initiative is to discuss, evaluate, and then choose a technology to govern a "way forward", with the goal being to REDUCE financial waste caused by duplication of effort and redundant systems..... which translates into less spending. Since we began, we've already cut the need for MILLIONS.... which then goes back into the general fund for other uses. This isn't the old way of "use it or lose it funding"...... No, the more modern approach is "why do you need it in the first place", and then "how will you make the need for funding less while providing the very best possible service".
e-groups are great, because they open the door for discussion with some of the best and brightest in the Nation, and hopefully guide us towards a path that will keep us current with technology but with less need for the burden on the taxpayer.
Regards....
