JKO's new Short Narrative Academic Videos (SNAPs) offer a fresh way to preview course content. The new feature is currently live for the Joint Staff audience, and will soon be available to Combatant Commands, and finally all JKO users. Check your "My Training" tab and click the video icon to play when available. Content owners can create SNAPs for mission critical courses, boosting joint readiness.
The new feature on the Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) Learning Management System (LMS) aims to engage military personnel with critical training materials through short-form (30 to 60 second) videos. The redesigned "My Training" tab, visible upon login, will highlight key courses using these dynamic video introductions.
The videos, similar to YouTube Shorts, showcase real-world examples and applications of the course content, making the learning experience more relevant and practical for adult learners. The short format is designed to quickly grab attention and provide a more engaging and easily digestible introduction to complex course content.
