Abstract
The Canadian military is a large organization that relies upon people to accomplish a variety of tasks. While individual experience might differ, the idea that one needs to continue to learn as they advance within an organization is neither unique to the military nor novel. However, the Canadian military differs from most institutions in two ways. First, they design and deliver almost all their own training and education. Second, most training and education tends to occur elsewhere, which increases the time one spends away from home. Given current issues with recruitment and retention within the military, an issue common in many, it is important to consider how increasing the use of distance learning (DL) might contribute to a reduction in time away. Yet, simply increasing DL without recognizing how this might affect family and partner relationships may not be the solution. This paper describes qualitative research focused on understanding individual perceptions regarding increased DL with a particular focus on what this might mean for the quality of life of military members and their families.Keywords: distance learning; Canadian Armed Forces; military pedagogy, family Enseignement à distance : qualité de vie et considérations familiales Résumé : L'militaire canadienne est une grande organisation qui compte sur des personnes pour accomplir diverses tâches. Même si les expériences individuelles peuvent différer, l’idée selon laquelle il faut continuer à apprendre à mesure qu’on progresse au sein d’une organisation n’est ni propre au milieu militaire ni nouvelle. Cependant, l'armée canadienne diffère de la plupart des institutions de deux manières. Premièrement, ils conçoivent et dispensent la quasi-totalité de leur propre formation et éducation. Deuxièmement, la plupart des formations et des études ont tendance à avoir lieu ailleurs, ce qui augmente le temps passé loin de chez soi. Compte tenu des problèmes actuels de recrutement et de rétention au sein de l'armée, mais d'une expérience commune dans de nombreux domaines, il est important d'envisager comment l'augmentation du recours à l'apprentissage à distance (AD) pourrait contribuer à réduire les délais. Pourtant, se contenter d’augmenter la AD sans reconnaître comment cela pourrait affecter les relations familiales et conjugales n’est peut-être pas la solution. Cet article décrit une recherche qualitative axée sur la compréhension des perceptions individuelles concernant l’augmentation du AD, avec un accent particulier sur ce que cela pourrait signifier pour eux et pour la qualité de vie de leurs familles.Mots-clés : enseignement à distance; Forces armées canadiennes; pédagogie Militaire, famille

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
