Final Research
For my final Online Masters Degree in Distance Education and E-Learning Management research, I chose to explore Enterprise Distance Learning for Weapons of Mass Destruction – Civil Support Teams (WMD-CST).
Congress passed the Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction Act in 1996. It directed the Federal government to enhance the ability to deter, prevent, and respond to terrorist attacks involving Weapons of Mass Destruction. It also led to the formation of Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (WMD-CSTs) in each State in the U.S. and its territories. The teams provide direct support to the local and state emergency response organizations. The groups belong to the State they are located in, but they are Federally and State-funded. They meet the pressing demands as part of a state emergency response structure. Now, the U.S. has 57 teams of 22 people for in each State. It also has two teams in Florida, two in California, and one in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (Bogart, 2001). In this case study, we will analyze individual roles and functions within the 31st Civil Support Team in the State of Delaware and describe how the learning and development (L&D) plan is executed. Our research question is what stages of Learning and Development do CST learning programs occupy, and how can we maximize the efficiency of L&D based on analytics and findings?
