The purpose of my proposal is to present a comprehensive look at the specific needs of military students who are actively deployed globally, and who are entering the "virtual classroom" for the first time. Additionally, I have drawn upon my own experiences as an educator of more than 15 years, as well as someone who has developed course curriculum and provided related instruction in on-ground, hybridized, accelerated, and online formats to encourage vigorous discussion of facilitating the needs of such a specialized group. Moreover, I am suggesting the immediate need for further investigation into both the quality and content of learning experiences for actively deployed military personnel who are enrolled in online undergraduate programs, since it appears that the data collected on this particular sub-set of learners is limited in focus. Thus, such studies would need to include direct input from the students themselves, as well as from educational professionals who are guiding these virtual classroom experiences. Finally, my recommendation is that a commission be developed on a national scale to review and evaluate the outcome of data generated by such research efforts, and also, that this particular committee be assigned to make recommendations regarding changes in curriculum or delivery methods, to better serve the needs of professional military students who are engaged in a virtual learning environment.
