This repository contains the source files for the WA_101 edX course and WA_101 edX course extensions.
The Warrior Athlete Challenge is a step-by-step, highly achievable program for you to get fit and healthy. It emphasizes particular aspects of physical health that are designed to help you in your military operational readiness and career.
This challenge is highly self-directed. You need to be on your game in terms of honestly assessing your strengths, weaknesses, and progress towards goals.
The course is being developed by ADL's Applications Thrust team on the edX course development platform. EdX was created for students and institutions that seek to transform themselves through cutting-edge technologies, innovative pedagogy, and rigorous courses.
Through edX's institutional partners, the xConsortium, along with other leading global members, they present the best of higher education online, offering opportunity to anyone who wants to achieve, thrive, and grow.
edX's goals, however, go beyond offering courses and content. They are committed to research that will allow educators and course developers to understand how students learn, how technology can transform learning, and the ways teachers teach on campus and beyond.
The edX platform is available as open source. By conducting and publishing significant research on how students learn, they will empower and inspire educators around the world and promote success in learning.
