The Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC) has a requirement for Curriculum Development Support. The successful Contractor shall provide support for three primary functional areas: 1) Content Editing 2) Production, Design, and Multimedia Coordination and 3) Programming. These functional areas are in support of development of instructional materials and their related documentation and ancillary materials for resident foreign language courses at the DLIFLC that run from two (2) to sixty-four (64) weeks. These materials are delivered in a military classroom setting as well as through online programs to a larger professional linguist community. All students and departments currently use MacBook Pros and iPads for instructional needs. However, all materials developed must be platform neutral (i.e. accessible on all desktop and mobile devices). DLIFLC operates in a dynamic environment where mission requirements and priorities can change quickly. Contractors must be prepared to work in such an environment.

The contract will support several programs: 1) DLIFLC resident courses that are delivered in both print and electronic formats; 2) Technology troubleshooting for WorkFLO; 3) DLIFLC online products primarily composed of GLOSS, ODA and Familiarization Modules delivered via DLIFLC servers and disseminated via the World Wide Web; 4) The contractor will provide software development and support for online learning and assessment systems, primarily the DLIFLC proprietary Universal Curriculum and Assessment Tool (UCAT). This tool is also used by agencies external to DLIFLC.

DLIFC basic courses comprise three (3) to four (4) core hours of instruction per instructional day, supported by one to two (1-2) hours homework per day. These core hours have supporting audio and video materials, iPad and Smartboard activities. In addition there are test batteries composed of three to four (3-4) skill tests each administered every two to four (2-4) weeks of the basic course programs. Test batteries consist of separate skill tests in listening, reading, speaking, and FLO (i.e. Translation/Transcription). Listening and FLO tests have audio components.
