Deputy Director of Training and Education for Curriculum
SUBJECT: DDC Area Events (23 May - 3 June 1988)
Where We Are
1. The Television Production Section focused on three projects this week.
They:
learned that the DCI would have to reschedule the videotaping of his
segment on the ETHICS video to 13 June;
completed the shooting of two-thirds of the DA ORIENTATION videotape,
OL and OTE being the final elements; and
completed the first draft of the CT brochure, with final work to be
completed 31 May.
2. The Visual Aids Section has been collaborating with the Television
Production Section on field shoots for the CT brochure and polishing
photography skills in the process.
3. ? The Audiovisual Section was busy this week supporting a SACTD course
25X1 in Baltimore, videotaping a guest speaker for WOTD, filming an LTD
25X1 instructor for certification, and helping get
25X1 off
25X1
4. Two demos arranged for SACTD this week appeared to be very
successful. First, the TenCORE CMI (Computer Managed Instruction) program
promises to automate the administration of the modular secretarial curriculum.
and the testing of students. The TenCORE program is very easy to use, so
SACTD personnel will be able to implement it themselves. (NOTE: This program
accomplishes the management of student progress and testing; it does not
create CBT instruction.) The second demo, at Applied Learning International
(successor to DELTAK), introduced SACTD to a very promising interactive video
course on telephone techniques and also to the huge inventory of media-based
instruction that ALI sells. SACTD personnel will return to ALI to discuss
with them the possible acquisition of films and other material for the
secretarial program.

25X1 6. walked through Units 4 and 5 (out of 6) of Operational
Records I with the new OR I instructors in WOTD. One of the instructors has
extensive DORIC expertise that will ensure the accuracy of our CBT. It is
clear that the CBT course will be much more current than much of the paper
material now being used in class. It is also clear that the OR I CBT course
will need to be maintained faithfully in order to remain current.
25X1 7. The following information comes from a meeting with
OP, concerning ELECTAS. Both OP and OTE will advertise the availability of
"What is ELECTAS?" and the ELECTAS review unit in July 1988. This CBT will be
available to those who want to familiarize themselves with ELECTAS structure
and function, and with the specific duties of the T&A clerk. Over the next
several weeks, ELECTAS instructors, OP, and CBTG will work out a plan for
using the CBT T&A units in the classroom course as they become available. The
whole CBT ELECTAS T&A course will be complete and available to students by
January 1989, which coincides the with the last scheduled running of the
25X1 classroom course. hopes that future training of T&A clerks for
ELECTAS can be done with CBT.
8. DI/CRES is sending a copy of its CBT course for training DI analysts
in the capabilities of System 3100 to CBTG for critical appraisal. The course
is currently undergoing pilot testing by a dozen DI analysts.
9. C/PEDS and I conducted a meeting on CI training with our gurus. It is
clear we will need to have a detailed course design in hand for the all-Agency
program before we ask for the TSG's comments. A small group is now at work on
that.
Where We Are Going
10. The Television Production Section will be completing a video
commercial spot for the fitness room in the CofC Building, and preparing the
first module of the Secretarial Lab curriculum for DDC review.
25X1 11. will give a presentation on course design to the DA
Career Trainee course on 1 June, and will help supervise an exercise. CBTG
and LTD will show the CT's CBT and interactive video samples that afternoon.
25X1 12. SACTD/CTB instructor, will be introduced to Phoenix CBT
procedures and the three English courses currently on-line. CTB has arranged
for loaner courses in the same subject area from another vendor; CBTG will
load these on Phoenix so that CTB can examine them in July.

Acting Chief, Intelligence Training Division
SUBJECT: IT Weekly Report
1. John Hardt of the Congressional Research Service spoke on
"Foreign Trade and the Hard-Currency Constraint" to the Soviet Economy
Block on 24 May. Mr. Hardt noted this is a period of substantial change
in Soviet foreign trade activity, and the changes include radical
conceptual shifts. Where there had been a tendency for the Soviet Union
to pursue autarky, now it wants to join every international activity and
to become an integral part of the world market. A serious constraint
will be the ability of the USSR to pay for foreign interdependence and to
be flexible enough to allow joint ventures with foreigners to gain a
satisfactory level of profits (and at the same time the Soviets will have
to make some political concessions). Thus, the question of the balance
of payments is a key element in whether they will succeed in furthering
interdependence. To achieve their goals, the Soviets are trying to learn
how Western countries run their economies and conduct foreign trade.
STAT Two members of the To ical Issues Branch
SI-AT met on 25 May wit Chief of EURA's Security Issues
ivision, to discuss an upcoming one- ay conference to be jointly

3. The Science and Technology Institute completed the tenth running
of the DSO. Career Trainee Course on 27 May. was course
director. Twelve DSO' Career Trainees representing three DSU offices
attended the course. The course objective provided new DSI' professional
officers with the knowledge and skills required to be productive,
effective, and confident in their initial assignments within the
directorate. As in past runnings, the students regarded the briefing,
cultural, legal, and writing segments to be the most informational and
interesting.
4. On 27 May, the National Warning Course graduated 23 students:
5 - DIA; 4 - USN; 4 - NSA; 1 - State; 1 - USAF; 8 - CIA. The class was
unusual in that over half of the students were either supervisors or
experienced senior analysts. Again, the critiques were gratifying:
6 students rated the maximum value 7; 12 students rated the course 6; and
5 students rated the course 5. The honor graduate has not yet been
designated; competition is tight. The final examinations are still being
reviewed. There will be at least two possibly three students so
designated.
