Next-Gen Ed — Part IV: Learning at Light Speed
MIXONIUM Knowledge Management Applications in National Laboratories and Elite Military Force Use Cases -
There’s one place where slow, out-moded learning is not tolerable. It is in the world of National Security, where scientists at National Laboratories, and advanced concepts teams in the U.S. Special Forces need to acquire the latest information. They need to organize complex data and research in realtime — as it emerges — in a collaborative enviromment that has curation capabilities and community privacy protections.
In the world of science in the service of security, things move fast. It used to be that knowledge could be curated and published in a paper book, in a digital pdf, or given as a talk at a symposium. But today publications of static nature become stale overnight. And without frequent updating they become not just out of date, but they can mislead and result in inferior systems and outcomes.
To add to this pressure to modernize, CoVid has re-asserted for everyone that waiting for a meeting just won’t cut it anymore. We jump on a call, watch a video, and get on with getting work done.
All of this is why these entities that deal in dynamic information turn to MIXONIUM Ultra Media as the optimal agile knowledge management toolkit. Wether scouting constantly evolving technology trends, or publishing new discoveries and inventions, MIXONIUM delivers the newest format — the MIX. In the digital shadow boxes a user can quickly curate practical information of any file type into any of seven cells. The result is an agile dashboard that can be grouped into galleries like this:
Above you can see a screengrab of one portion of the new Knowledge Management series produced by Lawerence Livermore National Laboratories — it is called Strategic Latency. This series is published in association with their partner, Joint Special Operations Command.
The publication leverages the agile ultra media framework of MIXONIUM, where each post in the series is like a new “episode” of curated elements from top researchers around the world. Each MIX has a “briefing” video by the author, with supporting media, including a PDF white paper. Each MIX is a power-pack of substance that can be updated at any moment. And together the galley of MIXes forms a library of knowledge that helps leaders and teams stay current — even when they are on the go.
Separately, MIXONIUM is helping usher-in a new era in ISR — this is the information-dense field of “intelligence, surveillance, and reconaissance.” Learning takes a special form when the goal is security and agile response of tactical and strategic forces. Performance matters, and the transfer and conveyance of information needs to approach real time. As an example of what this looks like, in the MIX below a viewer can see a 3D model of an area of interest — in this case a golf course on the Pacific Coast. The model in cell six (note the 3D icon in the lower right of the cell) is an interactive 3D scene that has photoreal geometry and textures.
Here is what the 3D model looks like (below) — if the user selects cell six. You can see there is a dramatic new generation of sensor and processing capability on the horizon. This can be used for planning, for environmental studies, and for addressing the complex needs of climate management. And MIXONIUM will be there to help dashboard and contextualize all the new types of data.
In the end, National Laboratories and Special Operations teams require the highest level of performance from information systems. MIXONIUM Enterprise licensing is there, and on the go, when that highest level of quality is a requirement
If MIXONIUM is used by U.S. National Laboratories and the U.S. Special Forces teams, imagine what it can do for your training, learning culture, and knowledge management needs.
