TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: CDSE Webinar Feedback Survey

PURPOSE: The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) Center for Development of Security Excellence (CDSE) is required to evaluate education and training activities. The survey is used to collect course user experience data immediately following completion of a Webinar. The information collected is used for the purpose of assessing and improving the availability, effectiveness, and usability of training and education services and products. Responses to these surveys are requested online immediately following the completion of learning. Responding is optional. No personally identifiable information is requested. Anonymity of responses is maintained. Responses are aggregated and summarized for reports that are reviewed by CDSE instructors, training program and course developers, and management.

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: The respondents to the information collection are individuals who have attended live Webinar events hosted by the DCSA CDSE. Respondents comprise employees of the Department of Defense, employees of participants in the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), employees of other Federal Departments and State, and Local Governments, and other users. These surveys are made available to the population of Webinar attendees, including military personnel, DoD civilian employees, Federal Government civilian employees, and employees of contractors that participate in the NISP. The estimated response rate is approximately 42%. A small percentage of potential respondents (<1%) includes employees of state and local governments, educational institutions, or employees of foreign governments. Respondents participate because the CDSE solicits their input on training event satisfaction, experience, problems encountered in learning, and suggestions for improvement in order to identify problems, assure quality, and assess effectiveness in meeting training program goals.
