Resumen de Online distance learning as a factor of disruptive innovation in military education

Carlos González Escalada Álvarez

• Defence and security education programmes ("DEFSEC") must adapt to new global threats and vulnerabilities to maintain effectiveness. Defence and security education of the future will require students to undertake highly specialised multi-discipline learning. This will afford schools and educational institutions an opportunity to introduce organic adaptations or even disruptive changes to achieve this goal. Online education is one of the clear vectors of this disruptive innovation, especially with regards to the cyberspace technology.“DEFSEC” is the international acronym for Defence and Security. For the purposes of this work, DEFSEC entities are the Armed Forces, Security Forces and Intelligence Services.
