Collaborative Learning for Secure Logistics

该项目正在开发、实施和评估一种创新的以网络为中心的协作学习环境（CLE），以及一套以新兴安全物流技术为特色的教学工具。这将导致1)更快、更有效的全球物流实践和技术培训；2)支持911事件后“安全”后勤的关键培训；3)为全球行业提供有针对性的物流教育和培训。位于教堂山的北卡罗来纳大学（UNC）和位于北卡罗来纳州金斯顿的勒诺瓦社区学院（LCC）正在联合开发和测试CLE。该项目是在北卡罗来纳州物流教育联盟（NCCLE）的领导下组织的，该联盟是北卡罗来纳州东部由LCC和UNC领导的教育机构和行业联盟。北卡罗莱纳全球运输计划（GTP）的教育和培训中心（ETC）最先进的物流实验室和远程学习设施正在协助更广泛的传播。知识价值。这个创新的新教育平台，完全在线提供，支持现有的和新的项目，包括：1)LCC提供的新的在线A.A.S.全球物流技术（GLT）学位课程；2)社区大学水平的技师培训文凭课程；3)专业机构物流认证项目；4)为地方、州和国家行业定制培训项目。拟议的CLE代表了物流教学方式的根本变化-从传统的书面课程转向与当前商业和安全物流趋势一致的在线协作练习。该项目的重点是培训学生了解新兴技术对物流过程实时可视性和控制的使用和影响。更广泛的影响。该项目是为了满足行业对技术人员的迫切需求，这些技术人员需要经过培训，能够使用新技术（如RFID标签、扫描仪、智能软件等）和正在实施的实践，以保护国家免受从恐怖袭击到自然灾害等破坏性事件的影响。CLE和辅助工具的设计是为了方便来自弱势NC群体的非传统学生（高危青少年，西班牙裔）和妇女，以及陷入停滞行业的个人寻求过渡到物流领域。该计划完全可以在线获得，因此全国各地的学生都可以使用。北卡罗来纳州已经批准了一项新的学费结构，这也将使弱势群体和其他州外学生更能负担得起。

This project is developing, implementing and evaluating an innovative web-centric, Collaborative Learning Environment (CLE), and a set of instructional tools that feature emerging technologies for secure logistics. This is leading to 1) faster, more effective training in global logistics practices and technologies; 2) support of critical training in "secure" logistics in the wake of 9/11; and 3) providing targeted logistics education and training for global industry. The CLE is being developed and tested jointly by the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill and Lenoir Community College (LCC) in Kinston, NC.The project is organized under the leadership of the North Carolina Consortium for Logistics Education (NCCLE), a consortium of educational institutions and industries in eastern North Carolina led by LCC and UNC. The state-of-the-art logistics laboratory and distance learning facilities at the Education and Training Center (ETC) of the North Carolina Global TransPark (GTP) is assisting with broader dissemination.Intellectual Merit. This innovative new educational platform, available completelyonline, is supporting both existing and new programs including: 1) the new online A.A.S. Global Logistics Technology (GLT) degree program offered by LCC; 2) diploma programs for technician training at the community college level; 3) logistics certification programs for professional organizations; and 4) customized training programs for local, state and national industry.The proposed CLE represents a fundamental change in how logistics is taught-movingfrom traditional written curricula to online collaborative exercises that are consistent with current trends in business and secure logistics. The focus of this project is on training students to understand the use and impact of emerging new technologies for real-time visibility and control of the logistics process.Broader Impacts. This project is responding to a pressing industry need for technicians who are trained to use new technologies (such as RFID tags, scanners, intelligent software, etc.) and practices that are being implemented to protect the country from disruptive events-from terrorist attack to natural disaster. The CLE and supporting tools have been designed to be accessible to nontraditional students from disadvantaged NC groups (at-risk teens, Hispanics) and women, as well as individuals trapped in stagnant industries who seek to transition to the logistics field. The program is completely available online, and thus is available to students anywhere across the country. North Carolina has approved a new tuition structure that will also make it more affordable to disadvantaged and other out-of-state students.
