An on-line course entitled “Air Freight Web-based Training Lesson,” which trains students in aerial port air freight operations, has won a Gold Award in the 2006 Brandon Hall Excellence in E-Learning Awards competition in Denver, Colo. The Air Mobility Warfare Center’s Mobility Operations School at Ft. Dix, N.J., designed it in partnership with online contractor TraCorp Inc. It’s designed for use with personal data assistants (PDAs) to help deployed transportation airmen maintain their training requirements—and ultimately to enable them to complete college-level courses, as well.
