U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command / Army Training Support Center (ATSC) - Combined Arms Products for Distributed Learning (CAPDL)

Information Experts is one of eight prime contractors awarded a Combined Arms Products for Distributed Learning (CAPDL) contract by the U.S. Army’s Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC). The CAPDL program provides education and training to ensure soldiers and their units have the knowledge to meet the Army’s needs. Tasks under this IDIQ include the development of virtual reality training modules, sophisticated learning models and Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI).

During this 5 year program, Information Experts worked on 23 projects analyzing, designing, and developing over 797 hours of instructional multimedia instruction DL hours for the U.S Army school houses.

Information Experts’ team of Project Managers, Instructional Designers, Graphic Artists, Courseware Developers and Narrators worked to create learner focused training.

• Reviewed and reported on Government Furnished Information.• Created a Task and Media Analysis. • Created an IMDP, which is a high-level design document detailing instructional strategies, organization of the

learning paths for each of the lessons, and general design conventions used in the web-based courseware. • Acquired the services of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) so that our design team would not need to interrupt

the client’s staff with requests for routine information. • Created detailed storyboards. • Created engaging instruction designed to grab and keep the student’s attention.• Created challenging and appropriate assessments to test the student’s achievement.• Coordinated Individual and Group Trials to ensure the course is instructionally sound.• Prepared the course for fielding by submitting for government-testing to ensure the course works flawlessly on

U.S. Army ATSC & CAPDL (continued)

Issues Encountered and Solutions AppliedThe Army Training Support Center (ATSC) changed Validation Procedures three years into program, requiring additional steps, time, and direct costs. The Information Experts worked internally to develop a new process that would accomplish the new goals and additional steps, with minimal stress to the Proponent Schools.

The Army updated their ALMS in the middle of a Task Order 11. Unfortunately, the new ALMS did not work the same as the old. The new ALMS required additional programming steps. The Information Experts team went above and beyond what the contract originally stated and determined what was needed and incorporated it into Task Order 11 and all subsequent Task Orders.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a federal agency whose mission is to make markets for consumer financial products and services work for Americans—whether they are applying for a mortgage, choosing among credit cards, or using any number of other consumer financial products.

ChallengesThe CFPB engaged Information Experts to undertake a national research effort to understand small businesses’ experiences with financial well-being programs for their employees, what their goals are in helping employees improve financial well-being, and employers’ needs and gaps in tools and services they offer to their employees to improve their financial well-being.


PAST PERFORMANCE

PAST PERFORMANCE

CFPB (continued)

SolutionTo engage small businesses, Information Experts relied on its own network of owners and managers to schedule one-on-one meetings across the country. Information Experts also reached out directly to employees of small businesses by placing onlineads in three major metropolitan areas across the country. Within minutes of the first ad being placed, employees started registering on the website. In total, 143 employees registered to participate in nine focus groups in the three cities. They provided their insights from small businesses ranging in size from 2 to 385 employees.

Because of Information Experts’ interactions with the small business owners and their employees, CFPB gained valuable insights into the goals owners have in providing financial well-being benefits to their employees and what their employees’ expectations and reservations are in receiving these benefits. With this information in hand, CFPB is now positioned to offer tools and guidance to small businesses across the country that are interested in starting financial well-being programs.
