The Enterprise Course Catalog (ECC) enables a global search capability that pulls information from decentralized local catalogs across the DoD and aggregates the content into a single, Defense-wide portal. Existing course catalog systems and their respective contents will still be owned and managed by their current system owners, but the content (data) within those systems will be discoverable across all of DoD via the ECC portal.
The ECC includes several subsystems that enable the discoverability and accessibility of all DoD instructional activities. The ADL Initiative is focused on building, integrating, testing, and deploying the services and systems required to enable this ECC vision.
In July 2020, the ADL Initiative developed an ECC Pre-Alpha Prototype to validate the architectural approach for course catalog federation and to collect data about existing course catalog structures. Courses from Air Education and Training Command (AETC), Defense Acquisition University (DAU), and Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) were integrated into a common catalog portal powered by an open-source search and analytics engine (ElasticSearch) and visualization platform (Kibana).
Benefits of the ECC will include a broader, faster, and simplified capability to identify and access digital learning resources and opportunities across the DoD, and cost savings and cost avoidance through reduced duplication of courses and content.
The automated metadata service provided by ECC facilitates the alignment of metadata across organizations and helps maintain up-to-date information in the ECC. The metadata can also be used to align learning activities (e.g., courses, instructional materials) with standardized data on careers, competencies, and credentials. This kind of data alignment is a key element of DoD’s Enterprise Digital Learning Modernization (EDLM) data strategy.
