DATES: Public release will occur on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE)’s mission
is to ensure America’s security and
prosperity by addressing its energy,
environmental, and nuclear challenges
through transformative science and
technology solutions. DOE developed
the National Training and Education
Resource (NTER)® to provide an open
source platform for multimedia selfpaced training courses designed to build
skills in clean energy vocations at lower
costs than proprietary packages. NTER®
primarily consists of a learning
management system (LMS) and a
content management system (CMS) that
streamlines the delivery of training and
content to stakeholders. The LMS and
the CMS were designed to leverage open
source code and open data, enabling
educators to create content and students
to take courses easily. These systems
have offered DOE and other
organizations a unified platform to
provide state-of-the-art training. NTER®
users have earned certifications and
demonstrated competencies that
translate directly into on-the-job
performance. The highly modular
design has allowed NTER® to be used as
a stand-alone open-source toolkit or to
be combined with proprietary thirdparty materials.
Over the last several years, the open
source community has demonstrated the
ability to assume stewardship and
development of the LMS and the CMS
of NTER® to maximize the use and
market adoption of these educational
tools. Multiple organizations, with
expertise in open source development of
educational content, have incorporated
and adapted the NTER® elements and
are offering services based on it. DOE
believes that these organizations and the
open source community are most
