GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. Purpose. To announce the official name change of 
MarineNet to the Marine Corps eLearning Ecosystem (MCeLE). 
2.  Background.  MarineNet has been the name for the centralized 
Learning Management System (LMS) portion of the Marine Corps Distance 
Learning Program (MCDLP) since Full Operational Capability in 2001. 
The system provides 24/7 access to self-paced and instructor-led 
courses, assessments and surveys, virtual learning environments, 
user-generated videos and material, and social communities.  The 
MarineNet system satisfied requirements as an LMS until 2020. In 
2020, coinciding with migration to Amazon Web Services GovCloud, 
MarineNet expanded beyond hosting Computer Based Training to 
providing a suite of learning technologies, authoring tools and 
resources for the sole purpose of instilling knowledge and developing 
skills for all learners within the eLearning setting across the 
Marine Corps Enterprise.  
3. Discussion.  In accordance with (IAW) references A and B, 
MarineNet is no longer an accurate representation of the capabilities 
provided by the overall system.  The expanded role of the system in 
support of the Total Learning Architecture aligns with the definition 
and description of an eLearning Ecosystem IAW ref c.  The name change 
will accurately reflect the expanded capabilities and assist with the 
re-branding of the program.
4. Decison.  Effective immediately, MarineNet will be referred to as 
the Marine Corps eLearning Ecosystem or simply MCeLE.
5. The URL for the eLE will remain as portal.marinenet.usmc.mil until 
further notice.
6. Release authorized by Brigadier General M. W. Tracy, President, 
Marine Corps University.//
