Last month.
25X1 4. met with WOTD this week to discuss implementation of the
CBT material for the OR1 course. Experience with the Badge Table Orientation
has taught us that students do learn the DORIC material through CBT. We have
recommended, therefore, that the final implementation of the CBT be self-study
at the student's work place, with the CBT being delivered from the DO
computer. This can be followed up with a 1 or 2-day classroom session that
tests the students in a controlled environment and covers material not
appropriate for CBT delivery. The client is concerned that students will
cheat as they use the CBT at their desks. Our experience with the AIM course
has demonstrated, however, that students using CBT do at least as well as
students taking classroom instruction on the same proficiency test.

The Harvard Program is producing an interesting side-benefit.
The DDT's office asked us last week if our Kennedy School contacts
could facilitate a discussion with Dukakis people at the school
about how best we might serve a Dukakis administration. CSI and the
DDT's office will be exploring the issue further when the Kennedy
School contin ent is in town next week for two sessions related to
25X1 the program.
CSI held an Ambassadorial Seminar for the Directorate of
25X1 Operations on 5 May 1988 in Headquarters. , the
Associate DDO for Counterintelligence, hosted the presentation for
nine State Department ambassador-designates which was followed by
cocktails and dinner in the Executive Dining Room. This was a very
25X1 loose and inquisitive group and the discussion was very lively.
We are exploring with OTT the possibility of making articles
from Studies in Intelligence available on AIM/CONFER. The basic
notion would be to put an abstract of the article into CONFER and
offer the option of having the article itself printed at the user's
printer. It is early days yet--among other things, we have no idea
how easy it will be to link the articles with AIM, and we obviously
will have to wrestle with the question of who does the abstracts.
But the basic idea seems like a winner, and our OTT contacts are
25X1 enthusiastic.

Applied Linguistics (CAL) in Washington, DC. The purpose of the session was
to train interviewers and raters who through the administration and scoring of
face-to-face interviews will concurrently validate CAL's new indirect test of
spoken Portuguese. If this tape-mediated test of spoken Portuguese proves
reliable and valid it may have utility for LTD's testing program thus easing
the burden on LTD instructors who have increasingly heavy teaching and testing
schedules.
