G–7. Joint Language University
The JLU (http://JLU.wbtrain.com) is a free resource that offers thousands of hours of training and familiarization in
both language and culture for over 50 languages and regions. NSA offers this resource free for anyone using a valid .
mil or .gov email address. Many of the materials are focused at LCTLs and provide maintenance and sustainment
exercises in the ILR 2+ to 3+ ranges. JLU is a great place to find language materials and resources for maintenance
and enhancement of both reading and listening skills and DLPT practice objects. JLU introduced two easy to use tools
that eliminate time, distance, and travel costs as obstacles to training:
a. e-Class (powered by Centra) provides instructor led learning and communication. Training is enhanced using
application sharing, Web safaris, whiteboard activities, breakout rooms, text chat, surveys, and evaluations. e-Class is
available on the Internet (http://eclass.wbtrain.com/info) and the Intranet. Classes and events can be attended from
individual workstations.
b. e-Campus (Powered by Blackboard) provides Web-based student-centered teaching combining self-study with
activities guided by an instructor. The discussion boards allow for student-to-student and instructor-to-student interac-
tion. Courses and training may be hosted entirely within e-Campus or can be “blended” with e-Class or platform
delivered training. Anyone that supports the DOD’s mission is able to participate in e-Class and e-Campus classes and
events. For more information contact the advanced distance education technologies (ADET) virtual learning environ-
ment (VLE) team.
