Public role does not record any info such as completions
■ DoD■ UK Partnership Lab (Defence Centre of Training Support)■ Canadian Partnership Lab (Canadian Defence Academy)■ Polish Partnership Lab (Polish National Defence University)■ Developers (allows development and review on the production server)■ At the present time, the Partnership Labs do not have connectivity with their LMS’ –
correlation of students with PINs is done by looking at the m-Learning Suite dashboard and manually correlating PINs to students via spreadsheet.
Training staffs can share content among each role as required
