Evaluation of Pilot Distance Learning Course. Interactive Multimedia Instruction211 and Simulation Program

摘要

Approximately $2,000,000 will be saved through the implementation of the National211u001eSecurity Division's Operational Training Unit (NSD/OTU) development of a distance 211u001elearning course to replace one full week of training at the FBI Academy. In 211u001eNovember 1994, NSD/OTU determined it could no longer train National Foreign 211u001eIntelligence Program employees exclusively in the manner in which it was 211u001eaccustomed--traditional platform instruction. To help alleviate mounting training 211u001edeficits, NSD/OTU entered into a joint project with the Training Division's 211u001eComputer Based Training Center (TD/CBTC) to develop the FBI's first in-service 211u001ecaliber distance learning course. TD/CBTC assigned its top technology based 211u001etraining expert to lead the development of this course. Once development and 211u001edelivery of the Introduction to Counterintelligence (ICI) course was completed, 211u001eevaluation of the ICI course became the responsibility of NSD/OTU's leading 211u001edistance learning expert who transferred from the TD/CBTC. Examination of 211u001eNSD/OTU's two-week, 80-hour, residency Basic Counterintelligence In-service (BCI) 211u001erevealed the BCI could be more appropriately delivered to newly assigned foreign 211u001ecounterintelligence (FCI) Special Agents (SAs) by dividing the BCI into two 211u001eseparate courses.
