Intelligence is being able to add value to information by subjecting it to the elements of the intelligence process.
Intelligence has become the driving force in crime prevention, criminal investigation, loss prevention and risk management.
The predictive ability of a competent intelligence analyst is evident across both the public and private sectors.
Being able to support the decision making process in a climate of uncertainty is the analyst’s role and function.
…As such, intelligence is a growth industry.
So you want to be an intel analyst?
Using real-time authentic online learning scenarios to teach criminal

Parts to talk about
• The Pedagogical and Technical Design Briefs
• Application of Instructional Design Framework (theory)
• Course mapping the capstone experience
• Overall unit structure• First Person Perspective• Lessons learned• What happened next
The Design Brief: Authentic Learning in an Online Environment
The pedagogical challenge: how to provide authentic learning
experiences to build professional skills in a way that is customised for
external students?
The organisational challenge: how to use low-barrier technologies, and existing infrastructure to create a product that can be maintained and
adapted without significant technical support?

JSB377 as a capstone experienceSkills and knowledge you have developed in units previous to JSB377Defining the research problem/taskAssigning priorities to these tasksGathering information from a variety of sourcesExamining data within a prescribed context and evaluating data according to its validity and the reliability of the source Basic research skills and corroborating information using multiple sources
New skills and knowledge you will develop in JSB377Inductive and deductive reasoningPremise and Inference developmentInformation management Time management & Organisational skillsPrioritising and resourcingDecision making in uncertaintyData integration and presentation

Major Assessment Task: Pract-Ex
Assume the role of an intel analyst in an ongoing criminal investigation, applying knowledge/skills learned so far.Analyse intel files to determine
who’s done what.Be prepared for game-changing updates as events unfold.
Present PowerPoint + 8 minute audio briefing + documentation to supervising officer to convince him of your interpretation of events and to adopt your recommendations.
Professional role/perspective
, authentic context
Authentic activity, PBL
Polished product,
articulation
Realistic scenario
Scaffolding, authentic data
The Situation: The investigation was initiated in response to a recent
increase in the sale and supply of Amphetamine Type Stimulants (ATS)
along with a sudden rise in the theft of luxury motor vehicles, suggesting the
involvement of organised crime.

Students learned… We learned……lots and quickly, but learning curve was very steep.
Previous units did not always adequately prepare students for authentic learning.
An evolving scenario is challenging but exciting.
Real-time simulation very successful engagement strategy.
Self-motivation, time and task management essential to success as intel analyst (and student).
Our influence here was limited: plenty of guidance given, but students needed to take it!
Importance yet difficulty of “making a call” on intel without all the pieces of the puzzle.
Scaffolding was essential to help risk-averse students develop this skill.
PBL is challenging… but then, so is the career of an intel analyst.
Some students thrived on the experience, others were resentful of effort involved.
Communication with teaching team is important for success
Clear communication channels a must. WCT + asynch forum = good strategy!
Student feedback
Employer feedback
What happened next?Multiple successful iterations, also adapted to
FTF mode. Ongoing partnerships with state and federal
law enforcement agencies especially as graduate employers.
Raised profile of Faculty and University. Interest from international agencies.Lessons learned have informed development of
a new co-curricular law and justice competition called QUT Crime Club.
