Top award for online campust

Through vision and leadership, Defence has been awarded the ‘21st Century Achievement Award’ for an on-line learning system.

The development of the Defence on-line learning system known as CAMPUS saw Defence awarded the prestigious Computerworld Honors Program’s award for 2005.

The award, in the Education and Academia category, recognises the efforts of the Directorate of Defence Flexible Learning Solutions in establishing the on-line CAMPUS facility.

Secretary of Defence Mr Ric Smith said, “This is an outstanding achievement and is one that places the on-line facility unambiguously as world’s best practice.

“It reflects positively on Defence and is a great credit to all those involved in its development.”

As a result, the efforts of the ADO in this sphere are now available to over 100 universities around the world where they are used as case studies in on-line education.

CAMPUS provides affordable and accessible quality training in areas ranging from administrative business skills through to frontline operational and peacekeeping operations.

Any member of Defence can access the courses on CAMPUS from the DRN at http//defweb.cbr.defence.gov.au/det/campus/ by entering their employee ID/PMKeyS number and the password ‘DOMAIN’. World class on-line learning is only a mouse click away.
