GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. To enhance the performance and reduce the
cost burden of MCeLE, this MARADMIN provides guidance and amplifying
instructions for the updated content management and removal policy
detailed in the reference (a). The mission is to ensure effective
content management, enforce the timely removal of obsolete materials,
and mandate the appropriate use of ecosystem components.
2. Background. The previous guidance on this subject is hereby
superseded. The new policy, reference (a), and the quick facts book,
reference (b), establish the framework for a proactive culture of
digital content management across the Marine Corps.
3. Discussion. Effective immediately, all organizations and
personnel hosting content within the MCeLE platform will adhere to
the policies outlined in reference (a). The intent is to ensure that
learning materials hosted on MCeLE are relevant, current, and stored
in the correct system component to optimize the user experience and
reduce costs. Content owners, course managers, and curriculum
developers are responsible for compliance. Users with elevated
permissions (e.g., course managers, content owners) are required to
complete the MCeLE Marine Digital Educator Program Curriculum to gain
the necessary knowledge and maintain their system permissions.
4. Key Policy Points:
4.a. MCeLE Component Usage. Content must be hosted in the
appropriate MCeLE application to support its intended use case.
Reference (b) provides an overview of each component. Key components
include:
(1) Communities (Verint Community)
(2) Content Controller (Self-paced)
(3) Digital Library
(4) Instructor-led LMS (Moodle)
(5) Marine Video Services (MVS)
(6) Questionmark
(7) Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) (Adobe Connect)
4.b. Content Removal and Disposition. All content and courses held
past the established timeframes are subject to removal.
(1) All content owners are required to review their hosted content
every three years and remove any unnecessary or outdated materials.
(2) Course Planning Records will be destroyed 10 years after being
superseded or becoming obsolete.
(3) General Operations information will be destroyed three years
after the end of the calendar year.
(4) Transitory Records will be destroyed one year after the end of
the calendar year.
4.c. Reference (a) and (b) are in the MCeLE portal footer. Users are
encouraged to view and download references.
