Joint
Knowledge Online (JKO)
Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) is an enterprise portal system that
uses advanced distributed learning technology to deliver joint
courseware and learning tools that support joint training for individual
warfighters involved in or preparing for integrated joint operations.
The JKO portal is a fundamental part of the Joint
Knowledge Development and Distribution Capability (JKDDC). It integrates with existing
DoD systems, like Army Knowledge Online and Defense Knowledge Online,
to deliver joint courseware and links to other relevant training
products and services.
JKO also provides common and convenient features:
• Instant messaging
• File storage
• E-mail
• Chat
• Forums
• Newsfeeds
• Personal workspace
The JKO offers enhanced capabilities relevant to joint training:
•
Ease of access – An integrated sign-on capability allows
users to enter all JKO sites and applications with a single account
using the DoD Common Access Card.
•
Joint individual augmentee training program – JKDDC creates
online individual augmentee training to replace classroom training
and hosts it on JKO with a customized joint community page, reducing
cost and improving accessibility.
•
Certified joint courses – JKDDC is the unique authority for
certification of distance learning courses to support DoD’s
joint training system’s individual joint training standards.
•
Training tracking – Integration with DoD human resource systems
captures training accomplished and allows individuals, as well
as training managers, to track individual training progress.
•
Universal Joint Task List – based search capability – JKO
captures and sorts joint courseware and provides cross-referenced
knowledge sources that allow individual joint warfighters to find
training based on specific task needs.
•
Subject matter expert reach back – JKO allows users to locate
subject matter experts with knowledge or experience on specific
topics for questions and dialogue in areas of interest.
•
NATO, intergovernmental and interagency accessibility – JKDDC
reaches out through JKO to joint, multinational, intergovernmental
and interagency operators involved in integrated operations. NATO
and multinational partners can access unclassified courseware and
content of interest.
JKO provides a foundation for future expansion and enhancement.
The focus for the future is on the continued expansion of joint
training.
