Advanced distributed learning for peace operations

Even before the current pandemic, there was a critical need to develop new, digitized and distributed solutions to education and training for peace operations. For the near future, travel restrictions and fiscal constraints will most likely further increase this need. The Norwegian Defence University College (NDUC) has recently developed an innovative, stand-alone e-learning programme on human security and the role of the military, which fills a gap in existing education by answering the critical question of "when to do what" when perpetrators target civilians in armed conflict.

Dr. Stian Kjeksrud and Colonel Petter Lindqvist describe in his article the possibilities of Advanced Distributed Learning and present their brand new training, which is designed to better prepare military forces for the central mission of protecting civilians in peace operations.
