HYPER-LEARNING

Hyper-learning has several important, expanding
Fourth Revolution (4R) applications:
● Hyper-learning stimulated and supported across
various borders of human organization.
● Advantaging the expanding explosion of social
networking.
● Increasing significantly the intensity of learning processes.
All advantage the successes of the three preceding “revolutions” in Army learning over several
decades.1

Foundational Forces of 4R
The foundational forces of 4R hyper-learning are
based on integrated learning environments and high
performing leader team building.
Framework. The Army Training System framework is represented by CTC mission readiness
practices embedded in America’s Army learning
performance to standard, effective mentoring,
and 360 performance effectiveness reviews. The
CTC practices today are the application of effective learning to shared task, condition, standard
(TCS) accomplished by simulations supported
by observer/ controller/trainers and focused by
structured situational training exercises (STX)—all
accomplished and sustained through the conduct of
after action reviews (AARs). This effective process
is the CTC development model.
Teams of Leaders. ToLs improve performance
by developing shared SKA across borders through
combining information management (IM), knowledge management (KM), and leader teams (LT)
sustained by conducting leader team exercises
(LTXs). This process is the ToL development
model.2
Sharing, knowledge, and understanding. The
generation of environments of informal sharing

of data, information, knowledge, and understanding right, left, up, and down within organizations
stimulates good ideas, collaborative “murder
boarding,” merges address books, and creates adaptive workarounds within leader teams performing
consistently to TCS across all borders. CTC x ToL
advantages U.S. national strengths. These strengths
