Other functions in ALMS include:

  • Army Virtual Assistant chatbots, which provide initial help to the learner
  • Capabilities for resident and non-resident training events
  • Posting of official training records to the Army Training Requirements and Resource System via interface
  • Soldier and civilian military occupational specialties/career field progress monitoring to the skill (task) level
  • Enforcement of expiring certifications
  • “Adaptive Learning,” which supports one aspect of experiential learning by automated crediting of previously completed work
  • Online testing, including providing a common access card-restricted testing environment and producing detailed testing results for authorized users
  • Providing classroom instructors with automated grade book functions for recording learner assessment results, attendance taking and marking lesson completions
  • Support for multiple training delivery types, such as web-based, instructor-led, collaborative and curricula that have a blend of these types

Learners can access online self-help material within ALMS or utilize the Army Training Help Desk (ATHD) for questions and support concerning the use and operation of the system. Help desk agents are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to assist with any technical problems in the system. The ATHD portal can be readily accessed from the button on the ALMS page header.

The Customer Service Center (CSC) is also available to support training managers hosting their materials in ALMS and to respond to the needs of the system’s trainer-users. The CSC works directly with course managers by conducting training and assisting them with reports, roster management and other functional tasks. Additionally, the CSC performs such activities as determining how a course will perform in ALMS, setting up the course structure and making the course visible to the learner in the ALMS training catalog. The CSC also responds to ATHD tickets dealing with courseware playability issues in case any should arise.

"ALMS is vital to increasing readiness and providing training flexibility to our Soldiers,” said Christie Murphy, deputy product manager for ATIS. “Accomplishing training objectives online reduces time needed in the classroom, which saves money and helps maintain a modernized Army.”
