| The
Scoop About: Navy Knowledge Online |
At the top of the Chief of Naval
Operations' Top Five Priorities list are manpower, and winning the "War for
People." To win this war, the Navy must have a commitment to education and learning
that will empower Sailors to excel professionally and personally. Herein lies the birth of
the "Revolution in Training" and Navy Knowledge Online (NKO).
Within NKO, the user will have access to a wide variety of tightly integrated knowledge
management tools and functionalities. Each person's experience is individualized to fit
their needs.
The unique content displayed for each individual is based on their rank, NEC, duty
station, time in service, and other data from the NTMPS database. You can download a
DISCOVER NKO brochure by clicking the following link to the Naval Personnel Development
Command (NPDC) web site.
The Five Vector Model--a personalized career road map for each Sailor--is also available
on the NKO homepage. As the job task analyses for the more than 90 ratings within the Navy
are completed and associated KSAs are identified and mapped to these career plans, the
Five Vector Model will come to life for every Sailor who logs onto NKO; ultimately
providing detailed guidelines for the personal and professional progression of our
sailors.
Enhancing the specialized content that is provided for users are real-time collaboration
tools such as Instant Messaging, Chat, and Discussion Boards that provide a means for
users to interact with peers, mentors, and subject matter experts around the world.
A look at the tabs across the top of the NKO homepage shows Home, Leadership, Personal
Development, My Center, and Collaborate. Since Leadership and Personal Development impact
all paygrades throughout the Navy, all users have access to these pages from the homepage.
They address such areas as personal finance, education, leadership by roles in the Navy
(LPO, LCPO, Dept Head, e.g.), and other areas of common interest throughout the Navy. The
Collaborate tab houses one of the most powerful features of NKO: the Enterprise
Collaboration Center. Within the ECC, thousands of files containing vast amounts of
information are available at the click of a mouse button. These files can be Power Point
files used by instructors in classrooms, best practices from SMEs such as FTSC and NAVSEA,
blended learning solutions under development, the latest in 3-D modeling...at last count,
there were more than 50 distinct file types within the ECC.
Combining personalization, robust search, collaborative tools in a richly and dynamically
integrated environment, NKO is a quantum leap forward in delivering on the Revolution in
Training. |

on NKO for INDIVIDUAL AUGMENTEES (IA) |
The Navy Knowledge
Online’s (NKO) Individual Augmentee Community of Practice (IA COP)
is a road map of resources and training for any Sailor heading to an individual augmentee
(IA) assignment.
Launched in February 2006, the site provides Sailors with links to support the Navy’s
IA effort.
“This is a ‘one-stop-shop’ for Sailors making the transition from Blue
Water to Dirt Sailor,” said Tony Martin, Naval Personnel Development Command
knowledge management specialist. “Our goal is provide Sailors practical information
and knowledge that will help them and their families.”
The IA COP started with just one page of basic information. Today the site contains 12
pages of deployment, combat training, uniform, cultural awareness, and combat theater
information. Each page contains a discussion thread and a feedback mechanism so that
Sailors can ask questions and share information.
With more than 1 million hits, the IA COP is the official information hub where IAs gain
and share deployment knowledge and complete pre-deployment online courses.
In January of 2006, when the Navy IA Program began, deployment information was often
scattered and difficult to find. Naval Personnel Development Command created the IA COP on
NKO to solve this problem.
“Before the IA COP, we were inundated with questions,” said Yeoman 1st Class
Rosalyn Reeder, administration leading petty officer at Navy Individual Augmentee Combat
Training (NIACT), Fort Jackson, S.C. “The threaded discussion boards and feedback
gears reduced the amount of questions we receive by about 85 percent.”
According to Martin, the most common questions on the discussion threads are “what
will I be doing and what will I need to do my job?” All questions are usually
answered within 24 hours by either a deployed Sailor or the senior enlisted advisor in
theater.
For Chief Master-at-Arms Charlene Mayo, NIACT weapons officer, the community of practice
provides Sailors a basic understanding of what combat training is and is not.
“Sailors can go on NKO and find out what combat training at Fort Jackson will cover,
learn about the weapons that will be issued and take required online training,” said
Mayo.
To ensure Sailors are getting the right information, the sites content is checked and
updated on a weekly basis.
“Accurate and timely information saves lives and money,” said Martin. “This
community of practice is all about giving Sailors the information and knowledge they need
to do their job, take care of their families and --above all -- come home. |
