Marine Corps eLearning Ecosystem (MCeLE) Content Management and Removal Policy Update

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superseded.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every three years and remove any unnecessary or outdated materials.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superseded or becoming obsolete.
