Making online learning easier.DAU's student population continues to grow with over 300,000 certificate completions by July 2005. To better support users in the AT & L workforce, DAU DAU - /dow/ [German Fidonet] D"ummster Anzunehmender User. A German acronym for stupidest imaginable user. From the engineering-slang GAU for Gr"osster Anzunehmender Unfall (worst foreseeable accident), especially of a LNG tank farm plant or something with similarly disastrous is consolidating and simplifying sites. The effort began in April 2005 with the consolidation of the Continuous Learning System with the Virtual Campus Learning System. In August 2005, DAU completed the second phase of improvements by physically moving its hosting site for online courses and continuous learning modules from an external government center on the Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the to the NIPRNET NIPRNET Unclassified but Sensitive Internet Protocol Router Network (US DoD) NIPRNET Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network (US DoD) NIPRNET Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network at DAU, Ft. Belvoir, Va., and changing the URL URL in full Uniform Resource Locator Address of a resource on the Internet. The resource can be any type of file stored on a server, such as a Web page, a text file, a graphics file, or an application program. (see below). The transition resulted in a 400 percent increase in capacity and a 30 percent improvement in system performance. These improvements will provide better and more consistent connectivity for the AT & L workforce. During high-security situations, if the NIPRNET is blocked from Internet access See how to access the Internet. , the majority of the workforce is within the NIPRNET and will still have access. A second, smaller site at an alternate DAU campus is planned to provide both redundancy and connectivity for users who may not be able to gain access from the NIPRNET. DAU has also simplified the student enrollment processes and consolidated and better organized online resources and classroom course materials to give students one-stop shopping.
