The purpose of this paper is to discuss the challenges in creating an effective distance learning program to train emotion management skills in Army leaders. We present (1) a four tiered blended learning program intended to support both didactic and experiential learning and (2) the theoretical underpinnings to support the learning program design. Feedback from Soldiers on prototype versions and redesign decisions are also included.
